Abstract

Globally, close to 800,000 individuals die by suicide each year. A scientific understanding of suicidal thoughts and behaviors have been slow to emerge owing to a number of challenges including low base rates, complexity and nonlinearity, low precision and accuracy of identification and detection methods, and variability across social and environmental contexts. To overcome these challenges, researchers have developed increasingly innovative and creative methods to overcome these challenges. These innovations hold considerable promise for advancing the science of suicide via large leaps forward rather than incremental steps. In this special issue of Behaviour Research and Therapy, we highlight several such efforts.
