Abstract

Since 1994, a new prevention policy has been introduced in France. Over that period, eleven regions have conducted suicide prevention programs. It is possible today to assess the effects of these programs in retrospect. We have compared mortality data of the experimental regions to those of the other regions. We observed a significant difference in favour of the regions with suicide prevention programs. Results are discussed in relation with the achieved program content.
