abstract="Among the likely major contributors to the recent decline in suicides in Sri Lanka are a reduction in widespread and ready access to highly lethal agrochemicals, better management of persons admitted to hospitals with self-harm and a decline in sensationalized reporting of suicide in print and electronic media - possibly accompanied by a shift in public attitude away from considering self-harm as a natural and expected reaction to any form of distress.Open-minded and concerned discussion should continue,to ensure that gains are improved upon. Attention needs to be paid to some measures that are gradually being eroded.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
