Suicidology for doctoral students, 3 credits

Course content

The focus of the course is that the doctoral student will increase their knowledge in suicidology as a research topic. It is an advantage (but not an obligation) if the doctoral student has a dissertation project that concerns suicide in some aspect. The course also includes practical application of suicide risk assessment. The goal is for the doctoral student, based on previous research, to acquire knowledge of theories and methods in the current research area. The course will also provide an opportunity to reason together about ethical approach and other issues that may arise during research studies in the field of suicide.
