Suicidal behavior is a major public health problem that has devastating effects on families. Relevant suicide risk factor identification is a critical component to developing effective suicide assessments and interventions. Suicide risk factors vary across countries. Thus, the intent of this seminal research was to investigate suicide risk factors relevant to a small and rural region in the South American country of Colombia. The factors identified in the present Delphi study appear relevant in informing the development and expansion of suicide prevention strategies and community-based programs. Educating family members and other frontline community helpers on the identified suicide risk factors can exponentially increase service resources in underserved and unserved communities.

自杀行为是一个重大的公共卫生问题，对家庭造成毁灭性影响。相关的自杀风险因素识别是制定有效的自杀评估和干预措施的关键组成部分。自杀风险因素因国家而异。因此，这项开创性研究的目的是调查与南美国家哥伦比亚的一个农村地区有关的自杀风险因素。目前在Delphi研究中确定的因素似乎与指导自杀预防策略和基于社区的计划的发展和扩展有关。对家庭成员和其他前线社区帮助者进行有关已确定的自杀风险因素的教育可以成倍地增加服务不足和服务不足社区的服务资源。
