Evaluation of Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) in Scotland

May 2008 saw the publication of Use and Impact of Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) in Scotland: an Evaluation. This explores the development and implementation of ASIST in Scotland and evaluates its impact and effectiveness.

The evaluation has been very well received and strongly suggests that ASIST could have a sustainable future in Scotland, particularly as part of the rollout of suicide prevention training to meet Commitment 7 of Delivering for Mental Health.
