Authors' objectives:
Linking national, state, and community data systems, such as those used for medical service billing, to existing data from suicide prevention efforts could facilitate the assessment of longer-term outcomes. Our objective was to identify and describe data systems that can be linked to data from studies of youth suicide prevention interventions and to identify analytic approaches to advance youth suicide prevention research.
Authors' recommendations:
There is potential for linking existing data systems with suicide prevention efforts to assess the broader and extended impact of suicide prevention interventions. However, sparse availability of data dictionaries and lack of adherence to standard data elements limits the potential utility of linking prevention efforts with data systems.
