This program was first established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017, Public Law 115-31, 131 Stat. 135 (2017).

On April 22, 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&#8217;s National Center for Health Statistics released a data report, Increase in Suicide in the United States, 1999-2014, which underscores this fact.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"fa-ul\">\n<li>    <i class=\"fa-li fa fa-square\"><\/i>From 1999 through 2014, the age-adjusted suicide rate in the United States increased 24%, from 10.5 to 13.0 per 100,000 population, with the pace of increase greater after 2006.\n<li>    <i class=\"fa-li fa fa-square\"><\/i>Suicide rates increased from 1999 through 2014 for both males and females and for all ages 10-74.\n<li>    <i class=\"fa-li fa fa-square\"><\/i>The percent increase in suicide rates for females was greatest for those aged 10-14, and for males, those aged 45-64.\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most frequent suicide method in 2014 for males involved the use of firearms (55.4%), while poisoning was the most frequent method for females (34.1%).<\/p>\n<p>There is a sizable disparity when comparing the rate for the general U.S. population to the rate for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI\/AN). During 2007-2009, the suicide rate for AI\/ANs was 1.6 times greater than the U.S. all-races rate for 2008 (18.5 vs. 11.6 per 100,000 population).[1]<br \/>\n<P><\/P><br \/>\nThe `Zero Suicide&#8217; initiative is a key concept of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (NSSP) and is a priority of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance). The `Zero Suicide&#8217; model focuses on developing a system-wide approach to improving care for individuals at risk of suicide who are currently utilizing health and behavioral health systems. This award will support implementation of the `Zero Suicide&#8217; model within federal, Tribal, and urban Indian health care facilities and systems that provide direct care services to AI\/AN in order to raise awareness of suicide, establish integrated system of care, and improve outcomes for such individuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian Health Service (IHS), Office of Clinical and Preventive Service, Division of Behavioral Health (DBH), is accepting applications for cooperative agreements for Zero Suicide Initiative (ZSI)\u00e2\u20ac\u201dto develop a comprehensive model of culturally informed suicide care within a system of care framework.
