New paper! People with substance misuse have increased risks of suicidal outcomes. We examined risk factors for self-harm in a population-based study. Then developed and validated a risk assessment model based on them.
Model performed well on multiple measures of performance.

Lots of accounts on this site are financially rewarded for spreading lies and convincing you that everything is getting worse and you should be afraid. The good news is it's not: homicides in England and Wales are their lowest level in five decades and killings involving a knife are at their lowest recorded level
