Скачать или смотреть Suicide in America: How Health Systems Can Boost Treatment Access

Evidence shows that about half of people who die by suicide saw a health care provider in the month prior, suggesting that there is a critical opportunity to help these individuals.

While today, most hospitals and health care systems only screen patients for suicide risk when there is a behavioral health concern, with universal screening, everyone who enters the medical setting is assessed.

Screening can be as short as two questions, but as experts and medical providers indicate, may help save lives by connecting people to the care and treatment they need.
