Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Global populations are aging, leading to an increasing number of 'ageing societies'.
  • High suicide rates in older adults pose a significant public health challenge.
  • The urgency to implement effective suicide prevention is high, as clinical trials for optimal interventions may lag behind the growing need.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and identify key considerations for suicide prevention interventions specifically for older adults.
  • To develop consensus-based recommendations for a national suicide prevention strategy targeting the elderly.
  • To inform policy and planning for suicide prevention in an aging population.

Main Methods:

  • A New Zealand expert panel reviewed existing literature on suicide prevention in older adults.
  • Key considerations were extracted from the current scientific literature.
  • The Delphi survey method was employed to achieve consensus on recommended interventions.

Main Results:

  • Twenty key recommended considerations for elderly suicide prevention were identified.
  • A major recommendation is the development of a dedicated 'suicide prevention strategy for the elderly'.
  • This strategy aims to enhance the existing national all-ages suicide prevention framework.

Conclusions:

  • The 20 recommended statements provide a foundation for developing targeted suicide prevention interventions.
  • These recommendations are intended for stakeholders involved in public healthcare planning and governmental policy.
  • Implementing a comprehensive strategy is crucial to address suicide in the growing elderly population.
