Hence, ability to study homogeneous groups of at-risk you...

Suicide research, prevention, and COVID-19: Towards a global response and the establishment of an international research collaboration.
This editorial discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 on physical and mental health, with major implications for suicide and suicide prevention.

The unique challenges posed by the current pandemic require suicide researchers to collaborate in order to understand the impact of COVID-19 on suicide and suicidal behavior and effective w...
