Evaluating a suicide prevention program: a question of impact

Abstract

Organising performance information into a series of levels clarified what the information collected could prove and what it could not prove. This layout also helped to demonstrate links between activities and suicide prevention and, despite an impact evaluation being unobtainable, a level of confidence in the program's worth was gained. However, our paper maintains that this does not replace the value and importance of thorough impact evaluation, given that very little is known about what works in the suicide prevention area.
