TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Cross-cultural attitudes to help-seeking among individuals who are suicidal: new perspective for policy-makers JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Pitman, Alexandra A1 - Osborn, David P. J. SP - 8 EP - 10 VL - 199 IS - 1 N2 - World Mental Health Survey data demonstrate that a high proportion of people who are suicidal receive no treatment and that, contrary to previous assumptions, attitudes to treatment constitute greater barriers to help-seeking than do stigma or structural/financial constraints. We explore how suicide-prevention policy-makers might respond to Bruffaerts et al's findings.
