All studies describe restriction of access to places where there had been suicides by jumping from a height. The studies concluded that mean restriction activities were valuable in the prevention of suicide by jumping. Further, we reviewed four additional publications describing activities that restricted access to means (e.g., firearms legislation) but where the intervention was not aimed at suicide prevention per se, albeit suicide rates were reported.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite there being few studies available, our review identifies evidence on means restriction activities for the prevention of suicide implemented within Australia and provides a summary of implemented interventions that have been reported to be associated with a decrease in suicide rates. In particular, the apparent benefit of structural interventions at jumping sites supports their broader adoption: any such future activities require careful evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n
