Book excerpt: This product addresses the global public health problem of close to 800 000 suicides every year, of which 79% occur in low- and middle-income countries. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in the age group 15-29 years. WHO guidelines already exist in the area of suicide prevention (https://www.who.int/mental_health/mhgap/evidence/suicide/en/); therefore, this product is not a guideline, but will ensure the implementation of the existing guidelines.
