Abstract

In April 2020, The National Suicide Prevention Taskforce commissioned The University of Sydney’s Matilda Centre for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use to undertake a Rapid Review and Evidence Check. The overall objective of this Rapid Review and Evidence Check was to outline the role of alcohol/other drugs as a risk factor for suicidal behaviour, and to review interventions focussed on alcohol/ other drugs for their effectiveness in reducing suicide attempts and suicide deaths (as opposed to suicidal ideation only). This knowledge synthesis was to form the basis for evidence- and consensus-based recommendations, which will in turn inform the National Suicide Prevention
Adviser’s advice to the Australian Government.
