[Management of suicidal crisis in general practice: evaluation of care practices according to patient age]. / Crise suicidaire, évaluation des pratiques en médecine générale selon l'âge du patient.

Nearly 800,000 people die by suicide each year worldwide. Up to 75% of suicidal patients consulted their general practitioner in the months preceding their attempt. A study, conducted among 167 practitioners in Champagne-Ardenne in 2016-2017, aims to evaluate the practices of general practitioners in the management of suicidal crisis, particularly according to the age of the patient. It provides elements for reflection on their role in suicide prevention.
