What is considered an effective protective factor against suicide?

  1. Easy access to clinical interventions

  2. Increased access to highly lethal methods

  3. Isolation from family

  4. Limited access to mental health care

The correct answer is: Easy access to clinical interventions

Simple, easy access to mental health resources is essential for preventing suicide. Suicidal individuals need immediate help and with easy access to clinical interventions, this can be effectively provided. Increased access to highly lethal methods would do the opposite of protecting against suicide. Isolation from family can actually be a contributing factor to suicidal thoughts and limited access to mental health care would not be helpful in preventing suicide.
