abstract="Washington was the first state to require all licensed general medical and behavioral health care professionals (HCPs) to complete training in suicide assessment, management, and treatment. <br><br>RESULTS from pretest and posttest surveys of 873 HCPs participating in All Patients Safe, a 6-hour online training course, are presented. Improvements in knowledge and attitudes about suicide and confidence in treating at-risk individuals were observed, demonstrating the effectiveness of delivering large-scale training to HCPs to fulfill state requirements. Future work should examine the impact of training on clinical practices and the role of training in improving patient care.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
