Effectiveness of a communal, multilevel, interdisciplinary suicide prevention program

The communal suicide prevention measures implemented in FraPPE did not reduce the number of suicides and SAs. This should be interpreted with caution, as a number of prevention measures were already executed in the region. Also, data were confounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our awareness campaign may also have reduced the dark field, leading to increased reporting. We thus propose to enact registries on suicidal behaviors, to obtain better data and develop new preventive measures.
