Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The prevention of recurrent suicidal about people who have made a suicide attempt is a major strand in the prevention of suicide. It is estimated that 10-15 % of people who made a suicide attempt die by suicide. Recidivism rate of suicide increases even faster than the subject is close to the index suicide attempt. A one month recurrence rate is 5 %, 12-25 % at one year. Most people who made a suicide attempt receive ambulatory monitoring. On this population, there is a low adherence to care.

The main objective of the study is to test the effectiveness of a prevention program of recurrent suicidal acts for people who made a suicide attempt.

The secondary objectives of this study are the assessment of adherence to care; the identification of sub - populations benefiting most from this program; the evaluation of the possible generalization level of the program (eligibles persons rate) and its feasibility level.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized, controlled and prospective trial comparing an experimental group (usual treatment + interventions) to a control group (usual treatment only). All participants are evaluated after one year of monitoring. The search duration is 2 years (one inclusion year and one year of follow-up). It is planned to include 330 patients, 165 patients in each group.

The program (experimental group) includes three interventions:

* A series of three telephone calls ( the second week , one month and three months after discharge from hospital )
