What is it?

The literature review, as part of the online library, provides a comprehensive up to date overview of the current situation in the European Union regarding suicide prevention.

How was it developed?

Fourteen Euregenas project partners were responsible to look for country specific literature on the topic of suicide. According to guidelines, including structural requirements, literature of eleven partner regions was selected. Scientific literature as well as grey literature was included in the search.

Who is it for?

On the one hand the literature will serve as basis for the different work packages of the Euregenas project and on the other hand the literature is available for stakeholders who play a key role in the area of suicide prevention as well as for people who are interesting in this topic.

What is the aim?

The aim of the literature review was to get an overview of the following issues in the different partner regions: E-mental health, prevention and awareness raising strategies, training for general practitioners and support groups for suicide survivors. Only for these topics the literature review was prepared.
