Mental health and injury prevention

Suicide Trends in At-Risk Territories (START)


Components of the START Study

  • Monitoring of Suicide Deaths and Attempts, including deliberate self-harm;
  • Randomized-Controlled Intervention with Suicide Attempters (the Brief Intervention Project);
  • Psychological Autopsy Cross-Cultural Study; and
  • Follow-up Medically Serious Suicide Attempters.

All components but the Monitoring component are optional, and their implementation depends on the resources and infrastructure available in each participating country.
