Changing the legacy of suicide
Open accessAbstract
In the United States, despite the increase in knowledge about suicide, the rate of suicide has remained virtually unchanged for the past 30 years. The members of the American Association of Suicidology (AAS) are uniquely qualified to determine what, if anything, can be done to reduce the rate of suicide. The restructuring of the association has produced the potential for cross-divisional collaboration, and yet conventional membership boundaries have resulted in unrealized opportunities to impact the rate of suicide. Dr. Edwin Shneidman, stated in Albert Cain's 1972 landmark book Survivors of Suicide that "postvention is prevention for the next generation" (p. x). The ability to design, implement, and study an effective model of postvention is within the considerable talents of our membership; however, doing so will require the commitment and flexibility of the entire association. By making postvention collaboration a goal of the association we can bring a national focus on suicide that could change the legacy of suicide.

A suicide death can affect people in various types of relationships with the deceased, from close family members to more distant relatives, friends, neighbours, and employers.
“Indeed, a suicide death can affect people in various types of relationships with the deceased: from close family members to more distant relatives, friends, neighbours, and employers [6]”
From Essential Questions on Suicide Bereavement and Postvention (2011) · cites this paper as [6]
In “T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets” (page unavailable), Campbell reports that survivors in 28 different relationships to the deceased sought services after suicides, supporting the claim’s broad point. The readable passage does not identify friends, neighbours, or employers among those relationships, so it does not verify the full list. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
