Research project funded by NICHD to study barriers and facilitators for school officials' participation in child death review meetings to prevent adolescent suicide in Los Angeles County.
Description
This project aims to explore barriers and facilitators to school participation in Child Death Review (CDR) meetings through mixed methods research, including interviews and surveys with school psychologists, social workers, counselors, and attorneys. The study is based in Los Angeles County, which has a long history of CDR development and a dedicated adolescent suicide death review process since 2000. The research will inform policy and practice interventions to enhance school involvement in CDR, ultimately aiming to improve identification of risk factors and prevention strategies for adolescent suicide.
