After offering an overview of the current landscape and weaknesses in key programs, the team provides potential solutions, including:

- Consistent and systematic assessment that provide more meaningful data within a study, as well as across studies, improving pooled analyses;
- Understanding that decreasing false positives and debunking false notions of risk are as important as knowing about risks that exist; and
- Including suicidal subjects in trials to increase generalizability and avoid unnecessary exclusions.
