Overview
CDC's Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Program (CSP) funds 24 programs to implement and evaluate a comprehensive public health approach to suicide prevention, with attention to populations that have higher suicide rates compared to other populations in the jurisdiction. CSP's goal is to reduce suicide and suicide attempts among these populations by 10% over five years. Funded recipients are using data-driven decision-making to implement and evaluate the best available evidence to meet this ambitious goal.
The CSP Program Profiles show how funded programs are working to implement and evaluate a comprehensive public health approach to suicide prevention. A comprehensive approach uses suicide prevention strategies from CDC's Suicide Prevention Resource for Action. The seven strategies in the Prevention Resource help communities and states focus on prevention activities with the greatest potential to prevent suicide, and they are implemented on three levels:
- Community-based interventions
- Healthcare-based interventions
- Upstream interventions
