Abstract

Introduction: Suicide is a major public health concern within the United States, and prevention efforts are essential for decreasing the suicide rate. Researchers and clinicians have knowledge and effective treatments for preventing suicide; however, their impact is limited to those with access to services. Science Communication (SciComm) is an effective tool that can be integrated into the field of suicide prevention and can bridge the gap between scientific findings and the general population. SciComm can help disseminate evidence-based strategies for suicide prevention, dispel misinformation on suicide, and normalize help-seeking.

Purpose: In this article, we propose specific, tangible ways that SciComm can be integrated into graduate school programs, mentorship, career advancement requirements and can help enact systemic change within the field of suicide prevention. Additionally, we discuss why it is important that the field of suicide prevention, specifically, adopts a SciComm framework. Embracing SciComm can help the field of suicide prevention to have a broader impact and can help to reduce rates of suicide.

传播预防自杀的科学知识:呼吁心理学家行动起来。
导言:自杀是美国的一个主要公共卫生问题,预防工作对于降低自杀率至关重要。研究人员和临床医生掌握了预防自杀的知识和有效治疗方法,但其影响仅限于那些有机会获得服务的人群。科学交流(SciComm)是一种有效的工具,可以融入自杀预防领域,并在科学发现与普通大众之间架起一座桥梁。目的:在这篇文章中,我们提出了将科学交流(SciComm)纳入研究生院项目、导师制、职业晋升要求的具体可行的方法,并有助于在预防自杀领域进行系统性变革。此外,我们还讨论了自杀预防领域采用科学通信框架的重要性。采用 SciComm 可以帮助预防自杀领域产生更广泛的影响,并有助于降低自杀率。

期刊介绍: An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information - The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
