Abstract This article provides an overview of the public health approach to suicide in Ireland. The authors provide detail on the current suicide prevention strategy in Ireland, Connecting for Life, which is a whole-of-government, systemic, multicomponent national strategy. As the strategy enters its final extended phase of implementation over the period 2020–2024, the public health elements of Connecting for Life are presented, including the population level and more targeted approaches. The findings of an interim review of the strategy are discussed, in addition to the local and national implementation structures which are in place to assist implementation and monitoring of the strategy.

In the article, we analyzed the national strategies for the prevention of suicide that exist in the world. As a result of the analysis, we presented the concept of "Suicidal passport of the territorial community". It is a dynamic accounting system for signifi cant indicators that not only characterize the suicidal situation in the regional community, but also infl uence it. We have identifi ed two preferred categories for recording suicidal activity in the territorial community: "Characteristics of the suicidal situation in the territorial community" and "Resources for suicidal prevention". The authors propose to consider the concept of "Suicidal passport of the territorial community" as a supporting element of the National Strategy for the Prevention of Suicide in Ukraine. Key words: suicide, suicidal accounting, suicide prevention, suicidal passport of the territorial community, territorial community, self-annihilation

Abstract Background In the Netherlands, 1829 persons (11.6/100.000) ended their life by suicide in 2018. Two out of three suicides concern men, most of them in the age group of 50-55. Suicide amongst youth is rising, especially amongst youngsters between 10-25. Around 40 persons a day, predominantly young and female, are treated in Dutch hospitals after having attempted suicide. Only 40% of those who die by suicide have been in touch with healthcare professionals. These figures made the Dutch government to put in place a national strategy for suicide prevention. Methods This strategy follows the WHO's guidance and covers a range of measures in public health as well as in the health care sector. Its implementation is coordinated by “113 Suicide prevention”, the national centre of expertise on suicide prevention in the Netherlands. Results A broad package of measures is being implemented simultaneously, targeting the entire population as well as specific vulnerable groups, such as youngsters, persons with LGBT related issues and persons with mental health needs. We initiated several collective preventive measures, such as media guidelines for safe reporting, a public awareness campaign against stigma, reduction of access to deadly means or places; selective prevention initiatives, e.g. training over 3400 of gatekeepers to detect and address suicidal thoughts with desperate persons; and indicated suicide prevention strategies including screening, treatment and follow up of patients with suicidal behaviour in general practice or mental health hospitals. In this presentation the different components of the Dutch strategy for suicide prevention will be described more in detail, and experiences and first results of the different components will be addressed. Conclusions The relevance of the Dutch national strategy is related to the broad package of measures implemented simultaneously in many domains of society, but closely monitoring and evaluating the effect stays challenging.

Summary: Over the last decade an increasing number of countries have established national strategies for suicide prevention. In the autumn of 2002 the suicide prevention strategy for England was presented to the general public, introducing what could be called a second generation of national programs for suicide prevention. This strategy uses evidence-based criteria for its priorities more systematically than before. Furthermore, it has put an increased emphasis on goals being specific, preventive measures being practical, and the preventive potential being visible. Other guiding principles for this strategy are that suicide preventive measures and initiatives should be open to monitoring and evaluation, and that revisions and updates of the national strategy should be made regularly—thus constituting an evolving strategy. This paper examines the content of the new national strategy for suicide prevention in England and what new contributions to the field it may make.

Finland's suicide prevention project (1987-1996) has proceeded to its final phase, evaluation. In this article the general structure of the evaluation and the strategy for evaluating the implementation phase (1992-1996) are presented. The evaluation aims to look at the success of the project in its target areas and the critical factors involved. It deals with the intervention strategies evolved, as well as indicators of progress in suicide prevention activities. A process evaluation approach is used to evaluate the national strategy and the project. The first follow-up (1993) and preliminary results from the ongoing evaluation (1996) show that the project is being largely successful in meeting the operative challenges formulated in the national strategy.
