Measurement of primary care providers' suicide prevention skills following didactic education.
This study’s objective was to determine if didactic training by medical residents and nurse practitioner (NP) trainees increased their skills to assess and manage patients’ suicidal ideation, intent, and behaviors. Online didactic training was provided to 127 medical resident and NP trainees followed by a standardized patient interaction conducted to assess demonstrated suicide prevention skills (i.e., assessment of risk factors, protective factors, suicidal ideation and behavior, safety planning). Participants demonstrated only about half of the possible total skills in most domains and were least competent in assessing potential risk for suicide. Residents were rated significantly higher than NPs on observed skills.

A randomized controlled trial of suicide prevention training for primary care providers: a study protocol.
This paper summarizes the protocol for an ongoing study used to determine the most effective way to train primary care providers in suicide prevention. The effectiveness of training using simulation is being studies using two conditions: 1) a control group that receives online training via brief videos and; 2) the same online training plus two standardized patient (SP) interactions that can be either face-to-face, or telehealth.
