Case Management, Health Care Seeking Behavior, Suicide
Conditions
Brief summary
In France, the number of emergency visits for suicide attempts is estimated at 220,000 per year. Suicide management aims to reduce suicide risk factors in order to improve the mental health of patients and prevent recurrences. To day, no study has compared the approaches to health surveillance and case management in a clinical trial, nor established the benefit of each on commitment to care and beyond the prevention of suicidal recurrence.
Interventions
OTHERsuicide attempt patient using PEPS Program
The research protocol consists of two phases separated by randomization. A Hospital Phase common to both groups: Day zero is the day of the suicide attempt for which the patient came to the hospital.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluating the effectiveness of the P.E.P.S. program in preventing suicidal recidivism | 1 year | percentage of all suicidants who relapse during the 12-month study period. |
| Evaluate the level of possible generalization of the program | 1 year | percentage of all suicides of subjects likely to benefit from the program (subjects fulfilling the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria). |
| Evaluate the feasibility of the program | 1 year | percentage of subjects included in the intervention group who received all interventions); weighted by the percentage of acceptance to participate in the study |
