Abstract: The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and Crisis Services Program Evaluation assesses the implementation and expansion of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and Behavioral Health Crisis Services Continuum (BHCSC) in the United States (U.S.). The evaluation will provide SAMHSA, grantees, and other interested parties with information to strengthen the BHCSC for all people in crisis. The evaluation aims to understand the system response to behavioral health crises and outcomes of interventions delivered, with a focus on understanding how improving access to quality crisis services and supports. The multi-method, multi-study evaluation combines primary and existing data to answer questions related to the implementation of, and outcomes from, 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and BHCSC delivery, including the structure, composition, and collaboration patterns of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and BHCSC at the national, state, territory, and Tribal levels, how agencies associated with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and BHCSC work together to provide behavioral health crisis services and the effect on broader use of crisis services like 911, the effectiveness of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and BHCSC in linking individuals to services and the relationship between the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and BHCSC and short- and long-term behavioral outcomes, the effectiveness of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and BHCSC on immediate reductions in suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, and overdose risk, the overall impact of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and BHCSC on suicide and overdose mortality and morbidity by comparing long-term trends in public health outcomes before and after the implementation of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and BHCSC.
