Together, alcohol use and suicide account for approximately 4 million deaths per year, with a considerable burden on low and middle-income countries. Tanzania is among the world's most underserved nations for mental health treatment, with very little capacity to treat suicidality or alcohol use disorders. In this study, the researchers will adapt an evidence-based intervention for suicide prevention to address the unique needs of people with alcohol use disorders in Tanzania, and rigorously pilot test the intervention to assess its feasibility and acceptability in a Tanzanian emergency department.
