2 Monitoring Suicidal Behaviour in Europe JA GPSD [705038] START DATE: 01/01/2005 END DATE: 01/01/2008 DURATION: 36 month(s) CURRENT STATUS: Finalised PROGRAMME TITLE: First Programme of Community action in the field of public health ( ) PROGRAMME PRIORITY: - CALL: Health Information (Hi 2003) TOPIC: Improving information and knowledge for the development of public health EC CONTRIBUTION: EUR KEYWORDS: PORTFOLIO: Mental health Page 2/9

3 SUMMARY General objectives The project aims to reduce the frequency of suicide, suicide attempts and the repetition rate of suicide attempts in various European countries, by assessing the magnitude of the problem (monitoring of suicides and suicide attempts), the identification of groups at risk, risk factors, and specific variables (methods, hot spots, time variables etc.) which can be influenced to prevent this behaviour. Based on these findings guidelines for prevention of suicides and suicides attempts should be developed, e. g. regulations for access to suicide means, prevention of suicide imitation recommendations for the selling of pharmaceuticals used for suicide attempts, guidelines for secondary and tertiary suicide prevention (treatment of suicide attempters). Through a common assessment, studies of preventive measures in various centres, and the evaluation of such measures in a large number of EU and candidate countries it will be possible to develop such guidelines for suicide prevention. Strategic relevance and contribution to the public health programme Health information strand. Improving information and knowledge for the development of public health. Indicators of suicidal behaviour (deliberate self-harm, indirect suicidal behaviour, suicide attempts, suicides). Assessment of frequency and risk factors of suicidal behaviour and its repetition in Europe, determination of groups at risk, methods, hot spots and individual and social causal factors and their changes over time. Developing proposals for the implementation of strategies to reduce this behaviour. Testing the effect of specific measures. Methods and means - Monitoring with uniform definition of suicidal behaviour, uniform measurement of individual and social variables (risk variables) in 37 European catchment areas with each approximately inhabitants) all suicides and suicide attempts with contacts to the health system. - Measurement of the use of the health system and the repetition rate. - Assessment of groups at risk and changes (e. g. working place, special occupational groups, second immigration generation, elderly). - Assessment of hot spots and timespots (e. g. special places at risk: locations, bridges, railway lines etc, time clustering). - Assessment of methods and changes in methods (e. g. herbicides and pesticides, firearms, car accidents electricity, pharmaceuticals (size of packages etc). - Development of strategies and actions for special groups and methods (e. g. prevention of access to specific methods and hot spots, surveillance of hot spots, proposal of construction rules for bridges (barriers on bridges), reducing of package sizes, proposal of fences on hot spots (e. g. railway lines).

4 Expected outcomes period Picture of the size and the facettes of the problem. Identification of specific target groups, methods and hot spots. Development of evidence based guidelines for actions with regard to groups at risk, methods and hot spots. The results will be published in books with guidelines, scientific and popular papers, films and in conferences for scientist and decision (policy) makers. Page 4/9
