Catch them when they fall: Providing best evidence care after a suicide attempt [ 2018 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Fiona Shand (Principal investigator)

Brief description A previous suicide attempt is the strongest predictor of death by suicide. There is a strong evidence base for the key changes required to care after a suicide attempt: implementing evidence-based care is estimated to reduce suicide attempts at the population level by approximately 12%. Yet this is an area of health services that has been difficult to reform. This project is aimed at implementing best-evidence practice in four regions of NSW, where I have established partnerships.
