Research at CSPS consists of conducting research aimed at understanding the fundamental psychiatric, psychological, social, cultural, and medical factors that contribute to suicide and attempted suicide.

Laboratory of Suicide Studies

The aim of the Laboratory of Suicide Studies is to support the design and conduct of research on the correlates of, and risk factors for, suicidal behaviors across the life span. LSS research may involve basic social, behavioral, and biological, preclinical, clinical, and epidemiological studies of suicide that form the building blocks for preventive intervention research.
