Have all programs and practices listed in the BPR been proven to prevent or reduce suicide?
Not necessarily. Only Section I: Evidence-Based Programs includes programs and practices that have been evaluated and proven effective. Section III: Adherence to Standards lists specific programs and practices whose program content meets current standards in the field, but inclusion in this section should not interpreted to mean that the program has been proven effective through research. Section II Expert and Consensus Statements does not include specific programs, but rather recommendations and guidelines that practitioners should use in developing programs. These statements are based on the best available research and expertise in the field.
