title: Review of suicide-prevention programs in Queensland: state- and community-level activities.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Information regarding the availability of suicide-prevention programs in Australia is sparse and rather difficult to obtain. This study aimed to report and describe suicide and/or self-harm-prevention programs in Queensland.
  
  
  METHODS
  Programs were classified by type of intervention, predominant type of program, setting of delivery and targeted population-at-risk.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Sixty-six organisations were identified, providing a total of 101 suicide-prevention programs. The majority of programs operated at the prevention or treatment level, with less than half providing continuing (long-term) care. The programs targeted 12 different risk groups and were most frequently delivered within community settings.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The findings show a diverse distribution of activities across the levels of prevention and different risk populations. This survey demonstrates the existence of remarkable gaps in coverage and provision of programs for specific high-risk groups.
