520 _aAs demonstrated at the recent Consensus Conference on the “suicidal crisis” held by the French Psychiatry Union and the National Agency for the Accreditation and the Evaluation of Care, suicide is recognised as a current public health problem. The general practitioner’s role is situated on two levels: in a preliminary stage, the early identification of risk, and in a secondary stage, the provision of care at the time of a suicide attempt and then the provision of on-going follow-up care in partnership with other special services. The study aimed at evaluating general practitioners’ practices when encountered with suicidal patients and assessing their management of suicidal behaviour, as well as difficulties met and their expectations. Responses to a questionnaire were received from 290 general practitioners in one regional department in France. The results revealed that two-thirds of the respondents considered the identification of suicidal tendencies as being difficult, in particular with regard to the detection of young people at risk. General hospitals are the most common structures where patients are referred to in the event of a suicide attempt, as a facility that is permanently open and capable of delivering ambulatory care. A majority of the general practitioners expressed the need for training which was focused on methods for the early identification of risk as well as the development of listening skills.
