Grant: Knowledge Translation Supplement

This proposal will disseminate our comprehensive model to explain suicides in recently discharged patients resulting from our CIHR study entitled "Understanding the risk of suicide associated with recent discharge." This KT proposal will facilitate the knowledge creation phase of our research by allowing us to share our model and proposed intervention with psychiatrists and general hospital psychiatric services from across Ontario and western Canada. The knowledge-to-action phase of our research will be impacted by input from rural and small urban sites and from care providers, patients and administrators that operate inpatient psychiatric services. Their input will tailor our model and intervention to meet the needs of patients and inpatient sites across the country. From this series of interactive workshops with hospital inpatient sites, we will recruit a team of collaborators to develop and participate in the next phase of our knowledge creation; specifically, the development of an intervention trial research project to reduce the risk of suicide in recently discharge patients
