Understanding and detecting behaviours prior to a suicide attempt: A mixed-methods study.

Journal: The Australian and New Zealand journal of psychiatry
PMID: 36715024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Prior research suggests there are observable behaviours preceding suicide attempts in public places. However, there are currently no ways to continually monitor such sites, limiting the potential to intervene. In this mixed-methods study, we examined the acceptability and feasibility of using an automated computer system to identify crisis behaviours.
