Evidence check prepared for the National Suicide Prevention Task Force and commissioned through the Suicide Prevention Research Fund, managed by Suicide Prevention Australia – July 2020. The overall objective of this Rapid Review and Evidence Check was to outline the role of alcohol/other drugs as a risk factor for suicidal behaviour, and to review interventions focussed on alcohol/ other drugs for their effectiveness in reducing suicide attempts and suicide deaths (as opposed to suicidal ideation only)
