This volume of the Annals contains the proceedings of a workshop on suicide research sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Suicide Foundation. The workshop presented the latest research in suicide from preclinical, clinical neuroscience, and treatment perspectives. The preclinical section provides information on new methodologies in basic research that have promise for uncovering mechanisms that may underlie suicide. The clinical neuroscience section discusses recent research studies in adult suicide on the neurobiological substrates of suicide risk, taking advantage of powerful methods available in molecular biology and modern neuroscience. The treatment section addresses challenges involved in the development of treatments that specifically reduce suicide risk and discusses the evidence for efficacy of current pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments in preventing adult suicide. Thus, this volume describes the most promising suicide research findings over the last decade since publication of a previous comprehensive volume on suicide research.’
