TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Suicide is a complex problem that requires a range of prevention initiatives and methods of evaluation JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Hawton, Keith A1 - Pirkis, Jane SP - 381 EP - 383 VL - 210 IS - 6 N2 - A range of factors can contribute to suicide, which means that a multifactorial approach to suicide prevention is necessary. Whereas randomised controlled trials may be suitable for evaluation of some interventions, others require different approaches for assessment of their impact. Also, suicide itself will not always be the most feasible outcome measure.
