In an effort to reduce the number of suicides from the Mid-Hutson Bridge in Poughkeepsie, New York, the Dutchess County Department of Mental Hygiene and the New York State Bridge Authority jointly established a suicide prevention phone on the bridge, which is directly connected to a 24-hour psychiatric emergency service. This program is the first known one in which a dedicated suicide prevention helpline has been installed at a site of known suicides and linked with a mental health service. After 2 years of operation, the phone has been used 30 times; the data suggest that most would-be jumpers are ambivalent enough about dying that they will reach out for help/contact if the opportunity exists, and, as a consequence, can be saved.
为减少纽约州波基普西市中哈森桥上的自杀事件数量，达奇斯县精神卫生部门与纽约州桥梁管理局联合在桥上设立了一条自杀预防热线电话，该热线直接连接到一个24小时的精神科急诊服务。该项目是首个已知的在已知自杀地点安装专用自杀预防热线并与心理健康服务相连接的项目。经过两年的运营，这部电话已被使用30次；数据表明，大多数潜在的跳桥者对死亡的态度足够矛盾，以至于如果有机会，他们会寻求帮助/联系他人，因此能够获救。
