Suicide Bereavement Survey

The purpose of the Suicide Bereavement Survey is to increase the understanding about the diversity of suicide bereavement—defined as being emotionally distressed by the suicide of someone close to you—and to help multiple groups in society, such as those who are grieving, those who are instrumental in providing assistance to those grieving, and those who are dedicated to gathering and disseminating knowledge about bereavement. The study author is Dr. William T. Feigelman, Professor Emeritus of Nassau Community College (New York). CHRR is providing sample design and management, survey and questionnaire design, survey management, data collection, data security, database administration, and IRB coordination.
