N2  - The global economic downturn seems to be associated with a rise in suicide rates in many countries but we should not assume that this is a social rather than a clinical phenomenon. Mental health patients may be particularly vulnerable to unemployment and other hardships and to cuts in the care they receive. There is now no shortage of evidence on how clinical services and health policies can reduce suicide, and in England a new suicide prevention strategy was recently launched for public consultation. What we lack is an effective forum where a rigorous examination of international evidence can take place, with the findings translated into actions.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
