Abstract

Since 2001 a prevention program concerning depression and suicidality is carried out in the city of Nuremberg: "The Nuremberg Alliance against Depression". This project is part of the German Research Network on Depression and Suicidality. A multi-level-approach tries to improve the quality of care for patients suffering from depressive illness. The main focus of the activities aims at the optimisation of primary care. One main outcome criteria is the change of the number of suicide attempts compared to the baseline and a control region. The data after nine months of intervention show a significant decrease.
