Report on the 2nd International Workshop on Secure Access to Pesticides Conducted in Conjunction with the International Association for Suicide Prevenition Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Suicide Prevention, Singapore, 9 March 2006 (sponsored by Singenta Crop Protection)

Résumé

The aim of this workshop was to develop a collaborative model in which the issues surrounding the use of pesticides (crop protection products) as a means of suicide are addressed and publicized so that we can reduce suicide deaths using pesticides. The workshop focused on: 1) reviewing the background on the constructive use of pesticides as an essential economic and agricultural necessity as well as their use as a means of suicide; 2) to explore the notion of introducing secure access as an effective measure in reducing suicide and 3) to develop a framework in which secure access to the means of suicide, using the "pesticide" model, can be replicated and evaluated in relevant communities. This workshop was designed to provide information for the development of the International Association for Suicide Prevention World Health Organization collaborative initiative on pesticide suicide prevention.
