AB  - BACKGROUND: Suicidal ideation is believed to be part of a constellation of 
      suicidal behaviours that culminates in suicide. There is little information on 
      the cross-national prevalence of all suicidal ideation or of serious suicidal 
      ideation in spite of its likely public health importance. METHODS: A two-stage 
      screening approach of over 12,000 adults from the general population were 
      evaluated by face to face interview to identify those meeting ICD-10 criteria for 
      depressive disorders at eight sites in five European countries. This study is a 
      cross-sectional analysis of item 9 (suicidal ideation) of the Beck depression 
      inventory from the total screened sample. RESULTS: The standardised period 
      prevalence for all suicidal ideation varied from 1.1 to 19.8% while for serious 
      suicidal ideation there was much less variation. Examining the 
      inter-relationships between all suicide ideation, serious suicide ideation, 
      depressive disorders and suicide failed to support a seamless transition from 
      suicide ideation through depression and serious ideation to suicide. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Strategies to prevent suicide should be tailored to take account of site specific 
      differences in its aetiology and understanding the path from suicidal ideation 
      through depression to suicide is crucial to this.
