Many public health approaches to suicide prevention emphasize connecting at‐risk individuals to professional treatment. However, it is unclear to what degree the outpatient mental health workforce has the requisite knowledge and skills to provide the evidence‐based care needed to help those at risk. In this project, prior to the implementation of a statewide suicide prevention initiative, we assessed the baseline suicide prevention training and clinical practices of the New York State outpatient mental health workforce, a group likely representative of the broader U.S. clinical workforce.

门诊精神卫生人员准备好拯救生命了吗？实施全州自杀预防计划之前的自杀预防培训、知识、自我效能和临床实践

许多预防自杀的公共卫生方法都强调将高危人群与专业治疗联系起来。然而，目前尚不清楚门诊精神卫生工作人员在多大程度上具备必要的知识和技能，以提供帮助处于危险中的人所需的循证护理。在这个项目中，在实施全州范围的自杀预防计划之前，我们评估了纽约州门诊心理健康人力的基线自杀预防培训和临床实践，该团队可能代表了更广泛的美国临床人力。
