Australian Suicide Research Recognised by WHO. The Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention (AISRAP) at Griffith University has been officially designated a World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Suicide Prevention. AISRAP becomes only the second such centre in the world to hold the WHO distinction. It will drive research and practice to overcome the problem of suicide, especially in the Western Pacific Region, which has some of the highest rates of suicide in the world.
