Y The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Network (Follow-Up)

Madelyn Gould, PhD, MPH

This project was a partnership between Columbia University, the Mental Health Association of New York City and Centerstone. This study evaluated three different levels of routing patterns (regional, state, and local) to determine the impact of distance on effective interventions. Six regional, six state and six local crisis centers, all members of the Lifeline Network, participated in the study. The Lifeline Network is available 24/7 at 1-800-273-TALK.
