Whenever your depression (or anything similar) symptoms are relieved and another person is helping you, that is enough to get you at least 'just a bit' further away from suicide. And, really, this cannot be easily accounted for. The problem with human interactions and ease of anxiety is that you will probably never be able to get a proper and useful metric. I'd say most depressive people would not fill a form after calling any help hotline.
