Jeanette Foreman - Identifying priority areas for public health action to reduce youth suicide and self-harm in British Columbia

This presentation outlines the steps taken by the BC Injury Prevention Committee Youth Suicide and Self-Harm working group to identify priority areas for public health action and to reduce the incidence of suicide and self-harm among children and youth. Following data analyses, a literature synthesis and extensive environmental scan, a modified Delphi approach was implemented to rank twelve potential focus areas, based on a pre-determined set of criteria (effectiveness, acceptability, feasibility, evaluability and equity). The presentation will highlight the systematic approach taken, some of the key challenges faced in the process, and the final areas of focus selected for action.
