Translational Needs: Informing Tools to Close the Knowledge‐to‐Practice Gap in Suicide Prevention
Key recommendations for the development of translational tools in the field of suicide prevention include leaning on traditional approaches to knowledge consumption such as educational sessions or webinars, eNewsletters and website content and exploring how lived experience knowledge and expertise can be incorporated into translational tools. SO WHAT?: Disseminating evidence from suicide prevention research in formats preferred by stakeholders, such as plain language summaries, could increase accessibility and reduce the knowledge-to-practice gap for successful interventions.
