Abstract
SummarySelf-poisoning with pesticides accounts for about a third of all suicides
worldwide. To tackle this problem, the World Health Organization announced a
global public health initiative in the second half of 2005. Planned
approaches were to range from government regulatory action to the
development of new treatments for pesticide poisoning. With broad-based
support, this strategy should have a major impact on the global burden of
suicide.
