Abstract

Safety planning has been shown to reduce suicide risk and days in inpatient care among adults, but few studies have investigated how safety planning influences suicide-related outcomes among at-risk children and adolescents. This lack of research presents several avenues of research for researchers to explore. Aiming to establish a research agenda for safety planning research among youth, this paper outlines three areas of need in the research literature: 1) Facilitators and barriers influencing the use of safety plans among youth; 2) Parental involvement and parent-professional collaboration; and 3) Novel methods for safety planning development, modification, and application.
