title: The role of the high-risk approach in suicide prevention.
abstract: Evidence favours the population approach over high-risk approaches to suicide prevention, but methodological problems may have obscured the contribution of the latter. This editorial uses the findings of a recent evaluation of a high-risk approach used in England to consider the role of high-risk interventions in national suicide prevention strategies.
