Evaluation of the community-based suicide surveillance system in Northern Thailand using the RE-AIM framework
The Four Pillars strategy is a feasible and promising approach to reduce suicide risk through a community-based integrated surveillance and response system. Strategic local adaptations enhanced its feasibility without compromising core components. Addressing stigma, improving literacy, and strengthening multisectoral capacity are critical for broader scale-up and sustainability in Thailand and similar settings.
