TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Preventing suicide at suicide hotspots: a case study from Australia JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Lockley, Anne A1 - Cheung, Yee Tak Derek A1 - Cox, Georgina A1 - Robinson, Jo A1 - Williamson, Michelle A1 - Harris, Meredith A1 - Machlin, Anna A1 - Moffat, Caitlin A1 - Pirkis, Jane SP - 392 EP - 407 VL - 44 IS - 4 N2 - The Gap Park Self-Harm Minimisation Masterplan project is a collaborative attempt to address jumping suicides at Sydney's Gap Park through means restriction, encouraging help-seeking, and increasing the likelihood of third-party intervention. We used various data sources to describe the Masterplan project's processes, impacts, and outcomes. There have been reductions in reported jumps and confirmed suicides, although the trends are not statistically significant. There has been a significant increase in police call-outs to intervene with suicidal people who have not yet reached the cliff's edge. The collaborative nature of the Masterplan project and its multifaceted approach appear to be reaping benefits.
