AnnotationA consultative process in 2002 by the Scottish Executive's National Programme for Improving Mental Health and Well Being relating to the increased prevalence of suicides in Scotland in the last 30 years has led to the launch of Choose Life, the National Strategy and Action Plan to Prevent Suicide in Scotland. One of the main objectives of Choose Life is to improve the quality, collection, availability and dissemination of information relating to suicide and suicidal behaviour, and on relevant effective interventions. The research presented in this document considers the methods; identifies areas of interest and expertise based on a UK and international survey; identifies the focus and structures of the reviews based on consultation with an expert group; and suggests territories for a series of research reviews.
