OBJECTIVE: To disseminate key considerations for interventions addressing senior suicidal behavior.
METHODS: An international expert panel has reviewed and discussed key considerations for interventions against suicide in older adults based on existing evidence, where available, and expert opinion.
RESULTS: A set of new key considerations is divided into: universal, selective, and indicated prevention as well as a section on general considerations.
CONCLUSIONS: The suggestions span a wide range and are offered for consideration by local groups preparing new interventions, as well as large scale public health care planning.
