Abstract This article provides an overview of the public health approach to suicide in Ireland. The authors provide detail on the current suicide prevention strategy in Ireland, Connecting for Life, which is a whole-of-government, systemic, multicomponent national strategy. As the strategy enters its final extended phase of implementation over the period 2020–2024, the public health elements of Connecting for Life are presented, including the population level and more targeted approaches. The findings of an interim review of the strategy are discussed, in addition to the local and national implementation structures which are in place to assist implementation and monitoring of the strategy.

For all of the doubts raised about the benefits of a college education, it delivers on its promises of greater individual and social prosperity. This article provides an overview of work by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences’ Commission on the Future of Undergraduate Education Progress, which offers a national strategy to improve the college student experience. It argues that teaching and learning need to be prioritized so that all students have high-quality postsecondary educational experiences that incorporate a blend of liberal arts and vocational skills. Efforts around improving completion rates and making college more affordable need additional action and there are promising practices to lead the way.

In the article, we analyzed the national strategies for the prevention of suicide that exist in the world. As a result of the analysis, we presented the concept of "Suicidal passport of the territorial community". It is a dynamic accounting system for signifi cant indicators that not only characterize the suicidal situation in the regional community, but also infl uence it. We have identifi ed two preferred categories for recording suicidal activity in the territorial community: "Characteristics of the suicidal situation in the territorial community" and "Resources for suicidal prevention". The authors propose to consider the concept of "Suicidal passport of the territorial community" as a supporting element of the National Strategy for the Prevention of Suicide in Ukraine. Key words: suicide, suicidal accounting, suicide prevention, suicidal passport of the territorial community, territorial community, self-annihilation

The report also includes recommendations for universities, industry, and government to ensure that graduate school is a viable option for a growing number of U.S. citizens. Findings include:
