The mains objectives of our project are to coordinate the monitoring of suicides and to identify common or specific suicide risk factors in four overseas DROM-COM (French Polynesia, La Reunion, French Guiana and Martinique) by comparing to a site in mainland France (Amiens). A mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) will be used, based on semi-directed interviews of the psychological autopsy type.
Persons close of the deceased
Persons who knew about his/her childhood
Age 18 or over
Interviewed for the study between 2 and 11 months after the suicide
People with neuropsychiatric disorders that may affect the quality of the information collected, cognitive (memory and expression) and judgmental functions
People who refuses to participate
Persons referred to articles L.1121-6, L.1121-7, L. 1121-8 L.1121-1-2 of the French Public Health Code.
