Objectives

The aim of OSPI-Europe was to provide EU Member States with an evidence-based intervention concept, concrete materials and instruments for running and evaluating these interventions and recommendations for the proper implementation of the intervention. These aims were achieved by:

(1) Development and implementation of a comparable multi-level community-based intervention concept for the prevention of suicidal behavior.

(2) Evaluation of the interventions in a pre-post, controlled and cross-nationally comparable design concerning effectiveness, involved processes and the interplay between the single intervention measures
