The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Social Epidemiology
  • Mental Health Policy

Background:

  • Suicide is often viewed as a clinical issue, but social determinants significantly influence risk.
  • Existing strategies may not adequately address upstream factors contributing to suicidal ideation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for a comprehensive public health approach to suicide prevention.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current suicide prevention strategies.
  • Emphasis on social determinants of health.
  • Call for universal and selective interventions.
  • Advocacy for a whole-of-government approach.

Main Results:

  • Suicide prevention requires addressing social determinants like financial hardship and domestic violence.
  • Clinical interventions are vital but insufficient on their own.
  • Selective and universal strategies are needed to prevent individuals reaching crisis points.

Conclusions:

  • A whole-of-government commitment is essential for effective suicide prevention.
  • Policy, practice, research, and advocacy must integrate social determinants.
  • Involvement of people with lived experience is critical for all actions.
