Outcomes of a Two-Tiered Multifaceted Elderly Suicide Prevention Program in a Hong Kong Chinese Community 2011-02-28 .txt text/plain 4495 230 47 Objectives 1) To compare the 2-year completed suicide and reattempt rates in a preintervention group of Hong Kong Chinese suicide attempters (aged 65 years and older) who received standard care and a postintervention group enrolled in a regional elderly suicide prevention program (ESPP) that adopts a two-tiered multifaceted care management model and 2) to examine the trend of suicide rates in older adults aged 65 years and older in the preand postintervention periods. The first part compared the 2-year suicide rates and reattempt rates of the two cohorts of older adults (aged 65 years and older) with an index suicide attempt, presenting to psychogeriatric specialist care provided by the same healthcare administration (Hospital Authority of Hong Kong) in two consecutive time frames. The ESPPs two-tiered multifaceted care management model was associated with a reduced rate of completed suicide in a high-risk group of old-age suicide attempters. ./cache/cord-286234-qiesaz5i.txt ./txt/cord-286234-qiesaz5i.txt
