An invaluable resource. Advancing Suicide Research offers a masterclass in a public health approach allowing emerging researchers to draw on the insights and experience of those leading the field within an accessible textbook format. The comprehensive and systematic discussion of key concepts and ideas allows the reader to better understand and critically engage with the field in terms of how their own work can make a contribution. The treatment of approaches and methods offers students and graduate researchers valuable guidance for designing and developing their own studies. ; Bernard Leckning, PhD, Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University, NT, Australia, in Crisis (2021), https://doi.org/10.1027/0227-5910/a000809;
