It is likely that effective suicide prevention needs a more concerted, multiagency approach. Better training in suicide prevention for general practitioners is also essential. These findings pertain to the UK but have relevance to other countries considering similar programmes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0007125018001435_sec_a9\"><jats:title>Declaration of interest<\/jats:title><jats:p>None.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.2018.143","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,30]],"date-time":"2018-07-30T08:03:11Z","timestamp":1532937791000},"page":"600-608","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Association between a national primary care pay-for-performance scheme and suicide rates in England: spatial cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"213","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1621-8648","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christos","family":"Grigoroglou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luke","family":"Munford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roger T.","family":"Webb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nav","family":"Kapur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Doran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Darren M.","family":"Ashcroft","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6450-5815","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Evangelos","family":"Kontopantelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"170","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007125018001435_ref1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
