First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study evaluated VigilanS, a program that provides coordinated follow-up care for people in northern France who have survived a suicide attempt. Researchers tracked over 12,000 participants to see if the program reduced repeat attempts and improved care coordination. The goal is to standardize practices and lower suicide rates in the region.
