Suicide Safety Planning: A Systematic Review Supporting OT Research & Practice.

Date Presented 04/22/2023 Suicide is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. OTs regularly encounter persons who are at risk of suicide in their practice, and they need to be aware of strategies to mitigate risk. Suicide safety planning is an evidence-based intervention designed for this purpose. We conducted this systematic review to synthesize effectiveness studies to determine the outcomes and components of safety planning interventions to direct future OT research and practice.
