CARICOM Different Cultures, One Aim: Suicide Prevention The Symposium theme CARICOM Different Cultures, One Aim: Suicide Prevention reflects the need to identify key issues in suicidal behaviour in the Caribbean Region, to formulate cohesive, relevant and evidence-based strategies by bringing together networks working in the field of suicide prevention and to share knowledge, skills, research and good practices in preventing suicide. Suicide and suicidal behaviour have emerged as major public health problems in the Caribbean. Guyana and Suriname have been reported by the World Health Organisation as among the countries with the highest rates of suicide in the world. Trinidad and Tobago and Cuba are also countries with relatively high rates of mortality from suicide. While many other Caribbean countries have very low suicide rates, suicidal behaviour and selfharm are presenting as important public health and emergency department problems in most of the Caribbean. These problems affect young people disproportionately with rates highest in young adults and therefore are impacting negatively on economic and social development. Surveillance and reporting of suicidal behaviour remain problematic and inconsistent and there are few systematic suicide prevention programmes in operation. Agricultural weedicide and pesticide ingestion particularly of paraquat and the organophosphates remain the most frequently used method of suicide in the Caribbean, although hanging is also now increasing in frequency. The role of poisoning requires services such as poison centres and legislative policy to support and enforce safer use and storage of these agricultural chemicals. Self-mutilation mostly cutting as a form of self-harm or non-suicidal self-injury is also increasing in frequency especially in urban social environments in the Caribbean. This reality demands a cohesive and comprehensive response to the problem of suicidal behaviour in the Caribbean. Improved services for individuals and families affected by suicidal behaviour and commitment to the establishment of national suicide prevention programmes are among the priorities requiring urgent attention. Other social and community prevention strategies, intervention protocols and postvention support and follow up are all sorely needed. The time for action is now. 3
