Projected reductions (%, relative to business as usual) in total numbers of suicides, mental health-related emergency department (ED) presentations, and patients disengaging from services in the Hunter New England Local Health District (LHD) over the period 2021–2031. Results are shown for the optimal intervention scenario(s) for each outcome (see Table 2 for intervention scenario details). Mean percentage reductions and 95% intervals reported in the rightmost column were derived from the distributions of projected outcomes calculated in the sensitivity analyses (note that the 95% intervals provide a measure of the impact of uncertainty in the assumed intervention and pandemic effects, but should not be interpreted as confidence intervals). Numbers of cases (i.e., suicides, ED presentations, and disengagements from services) prevented were obtained assuming the default parameter values. Mean percentage reductions and 50% and 95% intervals are plotted on the right.
