Best strategies for reducing the suicide rate in Australia
Conclusion: The evidence regarding the overall efficacy of the systems approach is important in identifying what strategies should be prioritised to achieve the biggest impact. The findings of the population preventable fraction calculations indicate that the systems approach could lead to significant reduction in suicide attempts and suicide deaths in Australia. Potential synergistic effects between strategies included in the approach could further increase the impact of implemented strategies. (Source: Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry)

Tourette syndrome, co-morbidities and quality of life
Conclusion: While tics are the defining feature of Tourette syndrome, it appears to be the presence of co-morbidities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, in particular, and coprophenomena that have the greater impact on health-related quality of life. This has implications for symptom-targeting in the treatment of Tourette syndrome since all available treatments are symptomatic and not disease modifying.
