Description
NCIPC’s Comprehensive Suicide Prevention (CSP) program is a non-research project that supports implementation and evaluation of a comprehensive public health
approach to suicide prevention. Eleven recipients were initially funded in 2020, which increased to 17 in 2022, and 24 in 202 3. These 24 CSP recipients provide

strong leadership as conveners of multi-sectoral partnerships; prioritize data to identify populations disproportionally affected and to better characterize risk factors
(e.g., relationship, job/financial, mental health problems) and protective factors (e.g., connectedness, hope, resilience) impacting suicide; leverage current
prevention practices and fill gaps by selecting multiple and complementary strategies with the best available evidence, using CDC’s Suicide Prevention Resource for
Action; rigorously evaluate the overall approach and individual activities; feed data back into the system for quality improvement and sustainability; and effectively
communicate results. As part of the CSP program, recipients collect program evaluation data for formative and process evaluation activities to assess and
iteratively inform their work. Recipients may use evaluation findings for programmatic planning and improvements, APR reporting and highlighting success with
CDC, and communication with partners. However, recipients do not report raw evaluation data to CDC, CDC is not involved in the collection of this data, nor does
CDC direct recipients to collect this formative and process evaluation data in specific ways. Recipients are also asked to report surveillance outcome data to CDC,
including suicide-related morbidity and mortality data. This project determination covers recipient-reported data, both non-required data collection activities
conducted by recipients for quality improvement, as well as required morbidity and mortality outcome evaluation data, both of which are reported to CDC in
aggregate.

Goals/Purpose

The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to implement and evaluate a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention, with a ttention to disproportionally
affected populations (e.g., veterans, tribal populations, rural communities, LGBTQ, homeless, other) that account for a significant proportion of the suicide burden
and have suicide rates greater than the general population in a jurisdiction(s) (e.g., state, city/county, tribe). Key outcomes include a 10% reduction in suicide
morbidity and mortality in the jurisdiction(s). This project collects information on suicide morbidity and mortality counts a nd rates to measure progress.
Additionally, the project collects performance monitoring (e.g., process evaluation) data via a web-based Partners’ Portal. Data are collected from 24 grantees and
are used to monitor progress toward program goals, identify technical assistance needs of recipients, and to provide accounta bility for funding to the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House, Congress, and other sources, upon request. Because recipient evaluations are for assessment and
improvement of programs and are not generalizable, recipient activities are not considered research as defined by CFR and are subsequently not subject to IRB
review. In addition to the annual progress reports and performance measures submitted to CDC annually, recipients might also conduct additional internal
monitoring and evaluation to assess progress and to inform how programs are being planned and implemented. The specific data collection methods for their
program evaluation and quality improvement activities are not directed by the CDC nor is raw data collected by the CDC. The CDC does not provide prescriptive
requisites for this element of their work. While recipients do use some of their evaluation findings for reporting and highlighting program successes, they do not
submit any raw data to CDC.

Objective
Measurable outcomes are essential for determining the extent to which strategies and activities have reduced suicide morbidity and mortality in disproportionally
affected populations, as well as for continuous improvement of programming. Comprehensive Suicide Prevention recipients develop and implement a
comprehensive suicide prevention plan and measure both process measures associated with implementation of selected strategies as well as their impact over the
project period on longer term behavior and risk and protective factor outcomes associated with identified populations. Recipients are required to measure the longterm impact of the comprehensive approach on morbidity and mortality outcomes. This project also collects aggregate performance monitoring data (e.g., process
measures) via a web-based Partners’ Portal on an annual schedule. Recipients can conduct additional evaluation activities related to continuously assessing
progress to inform how programs are being planned and implemented.

Methods
Comprehensive Suicide Prevention recipients will develop and implement a comprehensive suicide prevention plan and measure both process measures associated
with implementation of selected strategies as well as their impact over the project period on longer term behavior and risk and protective factor outcomes
associated with identified populations. Recipients will also be required to measure the long-term impact of the comprehensive approach on morbidity and mortality
outcomes. This project will collect performance monitoring data via a web-based Partners’ Portal on an annual schedule, and CDC will report aggregate results.
Recipients are required to both implement and evaluate their activities to assess implementation and progress toward outcomes. Recipients program evaluation
activities may include formative, process, and outcome evaluation to inform activities, engage in continuous quality improvement, and assess progress toward
program outcomes. While some of the evaluation findings are used for APR reporting and highlighting successful work with CDC, process evaluation data is largely
used internally by CSP recipients to redirect activities, inform changes in project strategies, and to communicate findings w ith their local partners. The specific data
collection methods for their quality improvement evaluation activities are not directed by the CDC nor is this data collected by the CDC. The CDC does not provide
prescriptive requisites for this element of their work.

Collection of Info, Data, or Bio specimens
This project collects performance monitoring data from 24 recipients of Comprehensive Suicide funds via a web-based Partners’ Portal on an annual schedule, and
CDC will report aggregate results. No personally identifiable information will be collected. OMB number 0920-1368 (exp. date 9/30/2025) covers this project and
amendments have been submitted to account for newly added recipients over time. Recipients also use varying methods to collec t and use data for quality
improvement purposes. The CDC does not provide requirements for specific data collection methods, nor does CDC receive this raw data. Some examples of the
ways in which recipients collect their own internal program evaluation data include pre- and post-training surveys, focus groups, and reviewing external
programmatic data provided by partners.

Expected Use of Findings/Results and their impact
Results are collected from 24 grantees and will be used to monitor progress toward program goals, identify technical assistance needs of recipients, and to provide
accountability for funding to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House, Congress, and other sources , upon request. Findings will be
distributed through peer-reviewed publications and presentations, as well. Recipients use the internal program evaluation data they collect to inform the
implementation of programs and strategies. Program evaluation data from these activities is largely used internally by CSP recipients to redirect activities, inform
changes in project strategies, and to communicate findings with their local partners. While recipients do use some of their evaluation findings for reporting and
highlighting program successes, they do not submit any raw data to CDC.
