Suicide is a global public health challenge. We explore the benefits and challenges of operationalizing strategic objectives of national suicide prevention policies locally. To implement policy effectively, local resources must be mobilized, and we investigate a real-time surveillance, principles-based model led by the police through a multiple case-study design. We found current data collected on deaths by suicide is limited and more localized responses are necessary. Multi-agency communication, utilization of existing local support systems, and emotional support for frontline practitioners is essential. Police are on the frontline for suicide and are uniquely placed to collect data and support families.
自杀是一个全球性的公共卫生挑战。我们探讨了在地方层面实施国家预防自杀政策战略目标的好处和挑战。为了有效地实施政策，必须调动当地资源，我们通过多案例研究设计，调查了一个由警方主导的基于实时监测、原则的模式。我们发现，目前收集的自杀死亡数据有限，需要更本地化的应对措施。多机构间的沟通、利用现有的当地支持系统以及为一线工作人员提供情感支持至关重要。警察处于自杀问题的前线，他们最适合收集数据并为家庭提供支持。
