988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Data Access & Requests to Collaborate on Research (L-DAC)

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (988 Lifeline) may accept requests to collaborate on research projects with the goal of better understanding and preventing suicide. Research requests will be considered based on the ultimate benefits to crisis centers and/or help seekers, the avoidance of any potential harm to them, and the preservation of network operations

Research includes any form of systematic investigation (e.g., research development, studies/testing, evaluation) that is designed to contribute to generalizable knowledge.

*Important updates: We are currently not accepting requests for 988 Lifeline data, as we work to address a backlog of research data requests. Additionally, we are in the process of formalizing our agency’s data request process and plan to make standardized data sets available to address a range of analytic questions in the year ahead. We plan to provide data at different levels of granularity to different audiences to ensure the privacy of individuals is protected. Please read further below to understand what other types of research requests we can currently consider.
