Suicide prevention: spreading the gospel to general practitioners

K Michel et al. Br J Psychiatry. 1992 Jun.

Abstract

General practitioners were trained in the recognition and treatment of suicide risk either by written text alone or combined with a seminar meeting. They filled in questionnaires before and after training. In the seminar group, knowledge and attitudes changed significantly, while those doctors receiving written material only had similar results to those without training.
