What is ospi-europe?

OSPI-Europe: Optimizing suicide prevention programs and their implemen-

tation in Europe. The goal of OSPI-Europe is to provide EU members with an

evidence based prevention concept for suicidality. Further, concrete mate-

rials and instruments for running and evaluating these interventions and

recommendations for the proper implementation of the intervention will be

developed.

What is the intention of ospi-europe?

The intention of OSPI-Europe is to provide health politicians, stakeholders

and the European Commission with an evidence based and efficient concept

for suicide prevention with corresponding materials and instruments for

multifaceted intervention, as well as guidelines for the implementation

process. These aims will be achieved by the following five objectives:

• Analysis of differences in suicide rates among European countries and

harmonization of procedures for definition, assessment and evaluation of

suicidality
