Summary
Study advisor, Mark Flower, publishes new paper on suicide risk management in research

“A core challenge in researching suicide risk is that there is very little research on how to conduct suicide research.”
One of the key advisors to our study, Mark Flower, has a new paper published in the Journal of Communication in Healthcare! The paper focuses on findings from interviews with people working in research with a focus on risk management and safety.
“Mark Flower has provided grounded thoughtful advice to us throughout our own study. I’m so appreciative that he worked with a group led by Professor Finley to highlight the really important issues of how we researchers navigate issues when the people we speak to might be at risk of considering harm to themselves.” – Dr. Stefan Kertesz, CSI:OPIOIDs Principal Investigator
