Suicide signs that can be prevented if detected early. Gangdong-gu and medical institutions promote the "Life-support Stethoscope Project" - Active suicide prevention by early detection of high-risk suicide groups among patients treated at primary medical institutions. - A local clinic tests depression and provides in-depth counseling services at public health centers. Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jung hun) will promote a "life-support stethoscope project" in connection with primary medical institutions in Gangdong-gu to prevent suicide. According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare's "Psychological autopsy Results Report," suicide deaths are more than twice as likely to visit primary medical institutions a month before suicide due to fatigue, sleep disorders, and weight loss due to depression. As a result, the district office decided that active management to identify depression and suicide risk in patients who visited primary medical institutions was the core of suicide prevention and was very important in discovering high-risk groups. If a doctor at a primary medical institution made agreement with the district office determines that there is a risk of depression and suicide in patients, a depression health survey (PHQ-9) and a suicide behavior scale (SBQ-R) test will be conducted immediately, and Gangdong-gu health center will provide in-depth counseling. The degree of suicide risk is determined through in-depth counseling, and if continuous management is needed, it supports linkage with various community welfare resources such as ▲ Specialized Medical Center ▲ Gangdong-gu Mental Health Center ▲ Gangdong-gu Health Center Life Protection Activist Care Service. Lee Jung hun, mayor of Gangdong-gu District Office, said, "It is a time when the risk of suicide has increased due to the aftermath of COVID-19 and the economic crisis over the past two years," adding, "We will continue to take various and active suicide prevention measures to realize happy Gangdong." The district office plans to support high-risk tests and linkage costs to medical institutions participating in the project so that more medical institutions can participate, and a total of four medical institutions are currently participating.
