Alberta’s Suicide Prevention Training Program: A Retrospective Analysis with Social R&D Implications

A retrospective analysis of the Alberta training program to determine how well it followed the social research & development model created at the University of Michigan, as well as a more general analysis of the development of the program itself. The author felt that if the “trial & error” method of the Alberta program could be grounded to a systematic social R&D model, the lessons of the approach could be codified & passed on to others. (GW)
