Abstract

Globally, suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth ages 15-29-years, and self-harm is one of the strongest known predictors of death by suicide. This editorial introduces the Special Issue on suicide and self-harm, emphasizing the research and policy implications of the included articles. By illustrating advances in our science, the Special Issue both celebrates our achievements and highlights the need to use our science to inform suicide prevention policy and practice to reduce the tragedy of suicide and premature deaths.
