A Qualitative Analysis of Stakeholders and Workers' Views of the Impact of a Suicide Prevention Program for the Australian Construction Industry
The study emphasises the importance of a supportive work environment and industry for the success of the Bluehats program. Effective suicide prevention in the construction industry requires addressing individual, social, and systemic factors through a systems-based approach. SO WHAT?: The findings suggest that although the Bluehats program has a positive impact, an enhanced reach and scope could further improve its impact. Implementing these recommendations could lead to more effective suicide prevention in the construction industry and serve as a model for similar workplace interventions.
