Two kinds of community suicide prevention are popular: youth programs and suicide crisis centers or hotlines....A better targeted approach may be to train physicians to evaluate their patients for suicidal tendencies and make referrals. Given that up to 75% of people who commit suicide visit a physician in the year before their death, better screening in the doctor's office should help more people get the treatment they need."
