Repeat Suicide Attempts Drop By 30% If ER Staff Do A Few Simple Things

New research reveals it doesn't take much effort to prevent many people from attempting suicide again.

According to UPI, patients who received "brief interventions" and coordinated care were 30% less likely to try to take their own lives once more.

"Interventions" included phone calls and text messages to check on patients' well-being after discharge.

"Coordinated care" meant patients were referred to mental health professionals.
