[Suicide Prevention Austria (SUPRA) : the implementation of a national suicide prevention program].
Suicide Prevention Austria (SUPRA) is a package of measures which should help the Austrian ministry of health to realize an evidence based suicide prevention program. That such a program is indispensible can be seen on the fact that suicide is on the second position as cause of death in male Austrians up to the age of forty. The concept itself summarizes successful national programs which fit to the Austrian situation. In the meantime the Austrian ministry of health established an office for coordination of the SUPRA program and a commission of experts which is responsible for the first activities of the national Austrian suicide prevention program.
