CDC Guidance for Community Assessment and Investigation of Suspected Suicide Clusters 2024

This report provides updated guidance for the approach to assessing and investigating suspected suicide clusters. Specifically, this approach will guide lead agencies in determining whether a confirmed suicide cluster exists, what concerns are in the community, and what the specific characteristics are of the suspected or confirmed suicide cluster. This report is the second of three reports in the MMWR supplement updating CDC’s guidance for investigating and responding to suicide clusters.
