Time of Event: 12PM EST

Background: Many current or promising strategies for suicide prevention are necessarily evaluated

via observational studies. That is, it is not always feasible to conduct a randomized

trial to estimate the effect of a given treatment, intervention, decision, policy, or law

on suicide risk in a population. This talk will focus on how rigor, transparency, and

creativity can improve our causal inferences from observational data, and thereby

ultimately improve our understanding of what strategies work for suicide prevention.

Examples will be drawn from observational studies of lethal means access.
