View Award Description

NPAIHB Zero Suicide Initiative Coordinating Center - The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board’s (NPAIHB) THRIVE (Tribal Health: Reaching out InVolves Everyone) suicide prevention project has worked with tribes in the Pacific Northwest since 2009 to adopt and implementation the Zero Suicide (ZS) model. The NPAIHB is a tribal non-profit organization that represents the 43 federally-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. In collaboration with the IHS, the currently-funded IHS Zero Suicide Initiative (ZSI) projects, and national and regional partners, the NPAIHB will leverage THRIVE and the Northwest Epidemiology Center’s (NWTEC’s) professional expertise to build the Zero Suicide Initiative Coordinating Center (ZSICC) to increase tribal ZSI capacity nationwide and, in turn, decrease suicide attempts and completions among populations served by the current ZSI projects. Our approach is informed by the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and the Tribal Behavioral Health Agenda and will work to provide expert technical assistance to the ZSI projects on the ZS model. Our goals are to: Build a National ZSICC for Indian Country  Build capacity of ZSI projects to improve the system of care for those at risk for suicide Coordinate cross-site evaluation with ZSI projects to facilitate data-driven decisions that inform movement through the ZS model Increase access to ZS resources and information for ZSI projects Research from the CDC has noted that AI/AN people experience the highest suicide rates of any racial/ethnic group in the U.S., and suicide rates for AI/AN adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15 and 34 are 1.3 times the national average. To address these alarming statistics, the NPAIHB will create a ZSICC that will expand and improve the adoption of the ZS model in Indian Country among the IHS ZSI projects and others that are awarded funding in the future. Our 7 years of experience providing capacity-building support to tribes on the ZS model makes the NPAIHB highly qualified to successfully implement the ZSICC. Over 5 years, our ZSICC will: provide technical assistance and training to ZSI projects; share ZS literature to increase awareness and buy-in about the initiative among clinic staff, clients, and leadership; develop a national evaluation plan for ZSI projects; develop and train ZSI projects on an online system that will streamline data collection and monthly and annual reporting on movement through the ZS model; and create an online portal to share and access ZSICC’s materials, including templated policies, position descriptions, resolutions, etc. Our tribes, clinics, and partners are deeply committed to expanding knowledge about and the implementation of the ZS model to improve mental health and decrease suicide rates across Indian Country.
