Risk Factors for Suicide and Suicidal Behavior Relevant to Emergency Health Care Settings: A Systematic Review of Post-2007 Reviews

Research Output

Suicide is a global public health problem and with recent economic and societal changes, there may be emerging risk factors unrecognised by healthcare professionals. The aim of this systematic review is to update existing suicide risk factor literature applicable to emergency healthcare settings. A total of 35 articles identified from PsycINFO, CINAHL and Medline met the inclusion criteria. Results supported the significance of existing suicide risk factors and identified emerging risk factors. The review provides a high-quality update of risk factor literature that could be applied to emergency healthcare settings, however further research is needed to confirm emerging risk factors.
