Despite the effort of the Samaritan Society, the percentage of young people reporting having suicide intentions is still on the rise. It seems its intervention is not that effective, right?

Great!

I understand it now. Thank you.

Well, since there is no comparison group, we cannot determine the effectiveness of the Samaritan preventing suicide activities. Besides the ever-changing environmental factors may lead to an increase in suicide intention, which might also make Samaritans’’ effort in reducing suicide intention “invisible.”
