abstract="BACKGROUND: Development of effective programs for suicide prevention is a global priority. This study evaluated the differential effectiveness of the combination of several strategies to prevent repetition of suicide attempts. <br><br>METHODS: Participants were patients who entered the Emergency Department after a non-fatal suicide attempt. A total of 163 participants (68.1% females, mean age = 41.39) met the inclusion criteria and were spread across three groups: One group received a passive strategy consisting of preventive information, a second group received the passive strategy combined with an active component of case management (MAC), and a third group received the passive strategy, case management and a psychoeducational programme (PSyMAC). Randomization of participants was not possible. The study included assessments at the beginning, and follow-ups every six months up to 30 months. <br><br>RESULTS: The study showed no significant differences between groups in the number of re-attempts. Logistic regression showed a positive effect for MAC. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that the use of case management could be a promising strategy, but more research is needed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
