Monitoring, assessing, and responding to suicide risk in clinical research.

ABSTRACT: It is essential that investigators in clinical research settings follow ethical guidelines for monitoring, assessing, and responding to suicide risk. Given the unique considerations associated with suicide risk assessment in a research context, resources informing the development of research-specific suicide risk management procedures are needed. With decades of collective experience across heterogeneous contexts, we discuss approaches to monitoring, assessing, and responding to suicide risk as a function of study sample (e.g., students, psychiatric inpatients), data collection methodologies (e.g., interview, self-report, or ecological momentary assessment), and study design (e.g., treatment research). Additional considerations include training and supervision of staff to identify suicide
