FIREARM SUICIDE PREVENTION: RESEARCH FINDINGS AND PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS (1.25 Suicide Prevention Credit)
Emmy Betz, MD, MPHThis conference session video has expired, but you can still access the evaluations and handouts if you need.
Suicide remains a leading cause of death in the United States, with concerning increases among youth in recent decades. Firearm access increases risk of suicide death due to high fatality rate of firearm suicides, and lethal means safety (reducing access to firearms and other lethal means) is a recommended component of suicide prevention. This session will review recent research findings and present practical recommendations for clinicians on how to implement or improve lethal means safety counseling.
After joining this national expert in course and discussion, you will be able to:
1) Discuss and explain the rationale and evidence for reducing firearm access as a component of suicide prevention; and,
2) List at least three options or resources for reducing firearm access among youth with suicide risk.
