Rebalancing Global Suicide Prevention.

Evidence from low- and middle-income countries, viewed through India, challenges prevailing assumptions about suicide pathways, prevention, and surveillance, and highlights how evidence shapes global policy.

• Why it matters: Global suicide prevention has been guided by assumptions that may not fit settings in low- and middle-income countries, risking mismatched strategies and underrecognized evidence.
• What they did: This Viewpoint uses India as a lens to examine how evidence from low- and middle-income countries can inform debates on suicide pathways, prevention, surveillance, and evidence influence on policy.
• The result: The analysis suggests that incorporating low- and middle-income country evidence can reshape global thinking about suicide prevention priorities and what data are used to guide policy.
