Male suicide is a public health emergency, yet there hasn’t been sufficient research into understanding what puts men at elevated risk and how to support more men to recover a meaningful life.
This means we have many urgent questions to explore, but which topics should take priority?
Working with 242 lived-experience experts and a team of global clinical/academic leaders, we developed a 22-point agenda of priorities to take forward the next iteration of urgent male suicide research.
Questions related to 10 thematic domains: (a) relationships with others, (b) relationship with self, (c) relationship with emotions, (d) mental health, (e) suicidal behaviours, (f) early-life experiences, (g) structural challenges, (h) cultural challenges, (i) at-risk groups, and (j) support and recovery.
The three highest endorsed items related to loneliness and isolation (98%), feelings of failure (97%), and sources of stress and emotional pain (96%) for men who are suicidal.
