Description
Pauline Rivart and five co-authors study suicide methods among mental health patients in the United Kingdom in a 2024 paper. Limiting access to lethal means is a core part of suicide prevention, yet recent data on methods in this patient group were lacking. The team used a national inquiry data set covering 2005 to 2021.
They examined more than twenty six thousand patients who died within a year of contact with mental health services. Methods clustered with patient traits: hanging with recent self harm and short illness, self poisoning with substance misuse and prior self harm, and jumping or drowning with schizophrenia and inpatient status. The authors argue method specific prevention in clinical settings could save lives.
