National suicide prevention strategies have been identified as evidence-informed interventions that require multisectoral efforts by governments. This article reviews the rationale for national strategies, the need for a whole-of-government approach, and current progress on national strategies worldwide, including successes and challenges regarding implementation. We highlight the limitations of existing evidence and describe how future research may help to address knowledge gaps. We conclude that national strategies are an important tool for suicide prevention worldwide. However, a more robust evidence base evaluating the impact of strategies on suicide-related outcomes is needed.
国家预防自杀策略已被确定为循证干预措施，需要政府多部门共同努力。本文回顾了国家策略的基本原理、全政府方法的必要性以及全球范围内国家策略的最新进展，包括实施方面的成功和挑战。我们强调了现有证据的局限性，并描述了未来研究如何有助于解决知识空白。我们的结论是，国家策略是全球预防自杀的重要工具。然而，需要一个更强大的证据基础来评估策略对与自杀相关结果的影响。
