Brief Summary

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

Annually a substantial number of courses and trainings are organised in Flanders with regard to suicide prevention.These trainings are mainly aimed at intermediaries, such as caregivers, teachers, police, etc. From previous research it appears that such trainings are one of the most effective strategies for increasing knowledge, attitudes, skills and self-confidence with regard to dealing with persons who are suicidal and with crisis situations. However, such research has not yet been conducted in Flanders, which means that the effect of the training on the knowledge and attitudes of the intermediaries could not yet be determined. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of the trainings in Flanders. These trainings are organised by the Centre for the Prevention of Suicide (CPZ) and by the suicide prevention workers of the Centers for Mental Health Care.

All participants who register for one of these trainings will be invited by e-mail at three moments to complete an online questionnaire:

* Pre-test: one week before the training,
* Post-test: after the training,
* Follow-up: three months after training.
