Sažetak
The World Health Organization identifies suicide among the top 10 causes of death in many countries with an overall mortality
rate of 16 per 100,000 inhabitants. Furthermore suicide attempts present a frequency 4-10 times greater than the suicidal events,
representing also one of the main risk factors to lead to recurrent attempts of suicide. In 2008 the Autonomous Province of Trento
launched a suicide prevention pogram called "Invitation to Life" which includes various interventions intended to counter the
phenomenon of suicide in the region. Actually the epidemiological research upon the phenomenon of suicide in Trentino region is
one of the main pillars of the project: it represents a fundamental requirement to identify risk and protective factors in the population
in order to adopt more specific and effective preventive strategies. This article aims to present methods and instruments for
epidemiological monitoring of suicide and attempted suicide which are applied in Trentino and to describe results after seven years
from the beginning of the local prevention program “Invitation to life”.
