Prevention of suicide with regulations aimed at restricting access to highly hazardous pesticides: a systematic review of the international evidence.

TL;DR: A systematic review of the evidence of the effectiveness of pesticide regulation in reducing the incidence of pesticide suicides and overall suicides was carried out by as discussed by the authors, where the authors searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Embase for studies published between Jan 1, 1960, and Dec 31, 2016, which investigated the effect of national or regional bans, and sales or import restrictions, on the availability of one or more pesticides and incidence of suicide in different countries.

The global distribution of fatal pesticide self-poisoning: systematic review

TL;DR: Pesticide self-poisoning accounts for about one-third of the world's suicides, and epidemiological and toxicological data suggest that many of these deaths might be prevented if the use of pesticides most toxic to humans was restricted, pesticides could be safely stored in rural communities, and the accessibility and quality of care for poisoning could be improved.

Risk factors for suicide in China: a national case-control psychological autopsy study

TL;DR: Despite substantial differences between characteristics of people who commit suicide in China and the west, risk factors for suicide do not differ greatly and prevention programmes that concentrate on a single risk factor are unlikely to reduce suicide rates substantially.

Acute pesticide poisoning: a major global health problem.

TL;DR: The need to control the problem on a collaborative basis by all concerned, including national governments, agrochemical industries, international agencies, scientists and victims, is emphasized.
