Social workers frequently encounter those affected by suicide. However, the social work voice on suicide has been relatively absent from the literature. This scoping review aimed to map the contribution social work research has made to suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. Two hundred and forty-one papers on suicide authored by social workers were identified. Results demonstrate that explanatory research remains the primary mode of scientific inquiry in suicide research undertaken by social workers, with fewer descriptive and control articles. There remains a dearth of social work research dedicated to suicide in indigenous populations, postvention knowledge, and suicide and stigma. Future social work research should pursue a greater contribution to the primary prevention literature by evaluating programs and interventions. Working with those who are suicidal or the bereaved by suicide is important for informing social work practice in this area.

Recent studies show college athletes are susceptible to problems such as depression, suicidal ideation, substance use, and disordered eating (e.g., Cox, 2015, Rao & Hong, 2015). In an effort to investigate athletes' perceptions of current behavioral health services, this study explored whether athletes believed existing services embody the values of the social work profession. The researchers used a cross-sectional, web based survey design to collect information from college athletes. The final sample included 221 college athletes who completed a demographic questionnaire and a values survey. A MANOVA was run to explore the impact gender and class standing had on college athletes' perceptions of how services on their campus adhered to the values of the social work profession. Results showed an overall significant difference between athletes' class standing and their perceptions of social work values being used by service providers on their campus (Pillai's Trace = 0.11, F(4, 216) = 6.81, p < 0.001). In conclusion, the values and ethics of the social work profession could help engage athletes in overcoming behavioral health risks
