What it does
The Youth Suicide Prevention Research Act would amend the Advancing Research to Prevent Suicide Act to expand the National Science Foundation’s research focus on childhood suicide by adding new areas of study on adverse childhood experiences and toxic stress. It would affect federal suicide prevention research efforts, particularly those funded by the NSF, by broadening the scope of inquiry into childhood risk factors. The bill does not create new programs but modifies existing law to prioritize research into early-life trauma and stress as contributors to youth suicide.
