Summary

This pilot study tested a suicide prevention package (SuPP) for women in rural Pakistan who are at risk. The package includes a safety plan and follow-up visits from trained peers. Researchers wanted to see if it was feasible and acceptable to use within existing mental health programs. 50 women participated, and the study measured how many joined, completed sessions, and reported less suicidal thoughts.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: KPZ Program (safety planning and brief contact follow-up)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show how to integrate suicide prevention into community mental health programs in low-resource areas, potentially saving lives.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The focus is on feasibility, not effectiveness, so it's too early to know if it reduces suicide risk.
