Reducing domestic violence, substance abuse, and divorce are long-term strategies to reduce many mental health problems. Reducing access to convenient means of suicide (e.g., toxic substances, handguns, ropes/shoelaces). Reducing the quantity of dosages supplied in packages of non-prescription medicines e.g., aspirin. Interventions targeted at high-risk groups.

In addition to those, a few journals are exclusively devoted to the study of suicide (suicidology), most notably, Crisis, Suicide and Life Threatening Behavior, and the Archives of Suicide Research.
