Since our foundation in 2003, 3Ts has supported innovative research in the fields of suicide & suicide prevention. We've identified, funded and participated in key research projects to help fill knowledge gaps. We hope that our research can help inform future suicide prevention policies and ultimately help prevent future deaths by suicide.
Accessing Help for Self-Harm and Suicidal Behaviour in the Emergency Department - a two-phase study
Phase 1 of this research, published in 2020, studied the experience of service-users themselves and revealed the need for a back to basics approach to patient care. The research is funded by 3Ts and the Irish Research Council (New Foundations Grant) and was conducted by a team at Trinity College Dublin School of Nursing and Midwifery.
