“…Outcomes of qualitative analysis in this study revealed an overarching theme of 'sensing heartfelt appreciation' suggesting satisfaction as previously reported [24]. 'Gaining knowledge, attitudes and skill' could be related to self-efficacy [24,30]. 'Seeking to learn more' may reflect acknowledging a desire for more training time [24].…”

“…Controls (n=48) received only lecture, while those in the intervention group (n=85) attended QPR training with role-play and viewed a suicide documentary. Those in the intervention group showed improvement in knowledge, attitudes and self-perceived skill while the control group showed gains in only knowledge [24].…”

Background: Gatekeeper training remains fundamental to broad suicide prevention strategies. In this descriptive study, Question, Persuade, Refer, an evidence-based suicide prevention gatekeeper training program, was implemented community-wide in a state among the highest for suicide in the United States.Objective: To describe and compare cohort pre-post responses to suicide prevention gatekeeper training. Methods:Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 2013 to 2016 utilizing pre-post training surveys (n=894). Results:Quantitative results were statistically significant (p<0.0001) with little between-cohort variance. Significant differences in pre-post ratings concerned 'how to ask about suicide', 'how to persuade someone to receive help' and 'information about resources'. Post-survey qualitative results revealed a main theme of 'appreciating learning about suicide prevention'. Conclusion:Findings from the ethnically homogenous sample are consistent with other research outcomes, adding to understandings from the few other published community-wide gatekeeper studies. Of note is that gatekeeper training is feasible, beneficial and cost-effective aligning with international and national initiatives. Future research is needed on the sustainability of gatekeeper training outcomes over time and its' impact on suicide rates.

“…The explanatory bidirectional framework is illustrated in a study looking at a film intervention compared to lecture format control for increasing suicide prevention among Japanese people. The authors used a convergent MMR design simultaneously collecting survey data and open text data in self-administered survey format (Teo et al, 2016). The instruments addressed awareness, self-efficacy, gatekeeper behavior, and social norms, while three open-ended questions elicited the qualitative data.…”

Methodologists have offered general strategies for integration in mixed-methods studies through merging of quantitative and qualitative data. While these strategies provide researchers in the field general guidance on how to integrate data during mixed-methods analysis, a methodological typology detailing specific analytic frameworks has been lacking. The purpose of this article is to introduce a typology of analytical approaches for mixed-methods data integration in mixed-methods convergent studies. We distinguish three dimensions of data merging analytics: (1) the relational dimension, (2) the methodological dimension, and (3) the directional dimension. Five different frameworks for data merging relative to the methodological and directional dimension in convergent mixed-methods studies are described: (1) the explanatory unidirectional approach, (2) the exploratory unidirectional approach, (3) the simultaneous bidirectional approach, (4) the explanatory bidirectional approach, and (5) the exploratory bidirectional approach. Examples from empirical studies are used to illustrate each type. Researchers can use this typology to inform and articulate their analytical approach during the design, implementation, and reporting phases to convey clearly how an integrated approach to data merging occurred. KeywordsMixed methods, integration, convergent design, merging, analysis, theory research-article2017Original Article 2 Methodological InnovationsThe objectives of this article are three-fold. First, we describe integration at the different levels and the integration challenges specifically associated with merging quantitative and qualitative data in the analysis in convergent mixed-methods studies. Second, we define three dimensions of merging analytics at the relational, methodological, and directional levels, and describe the subcategories of each. Third, we introduce a typology including novel nomenclature for mixed-methods analysis procedures relative to the methodological and directional level in convergent MMR studies. We introduce a lens heuristic that can be used to illustrate the directional levels, unidirectional and bidirectional, to illustrate variations in the typology for informing integration approaches. Through these conceptual representations and examples, mixed-methods researchers can understand different approaches in merging of quantitative and qualitative data to enhance interpretation of merged data in convergent studies. Integration in mixed-methods research Integration at the philosophical levelThe utility of paradigms for MMR has been debated extensively by previous methodologists (Morgan, 2007; Plano Clark and Ivankova, 2016; Shannon-Baker, 2015). For purposes of this article, we use Morgan's (2007) definition of paradigm as "systems of shared beliefs among a community of scholars" that influence how researchers select both the questions they study and the methods that they use to study them (p. 65). The terms "quantitative" and "qualitative" are not synonymous with paradigms, but ...

Peers of individuals at risk for suicide may be able to play important roles in suicide prevention. The aim of the current study is to conduct a scoping review to characterize the breadth of peer‐delivered suicide prevention services and their outcomes to inform future service delivery and research. Articles were selected based on search terms related to peers, suicide, or crisis. After reviews of identified abstracts (N = 2681), selected full‐text articles (N = 286), and additional references (N = 62), a total of 84 articles were retained for the final review sample. Types of suicide prevention services delivered by peers included being a gatekeeper, on‐demand crisis support, crisis support in acute care settings, and crisis or relapse prevention. Peer relationships employed in suicide prevention services included fellow laypersons; members of the same sociodemographic subgroup (e.g., racial minority), workplace, or institution (e.g., university, correctional facility); and the shared experience of having a mental condition. The majority of published studies were program descriptions or uncontrolled trials, with only three of 84 articles qualifying as randomized controlled trials. Despite a lack of methodological rigor in identified studies, peer support interventions for suicide prevention have been implemented utilizing a diverse range of peer provider types and functions. New and existing peer‐delivered suicide prevention services should incorporate more rigorous evaluation methods regarding acceptability and effectiveness.
