Suicide and the Role of Lethal Means
Department and Center Event
Fourth Term Graduate Seminar in Injury Research and Policy: Suicide Prevention
Dr. Nestadt will describe the epidemiology of suicide in the US, with particular attention to the most common method of suicide, firearms. He will walk through the relevant literature that draws a line from gun access to suicide risk and will discuss how specific policies (including “Red Flag Laws”) can lead to reductions in the suicide rate.
