Module 3 > Data-informed, community-driven interventions
What are some promising interventions to consider to equitably support high-risk populations in your community? The CDC’s Preventing Suicide: A Technical Package of Policy, Programs, and Practices offers strategies and approaches that are supported by best available research. This means that many promising interventions with supporting contextual or experiential evidence are not included. Frequently, data-informed, community-driven interventions tailored to some of the communities at highest risk for suicide fall into this category. To equitably prevent suicide in populations at elevated risk, these types of promising interventions merit consideration as part of your planning process.
To provide examples, this section includes a brief description of some promising interventions that have demonstrated potential to support different populations at elevated risk.
