Emergency department study reveals patterns of patients at increased risk for suicide 

NIH-funded research examined suicide and overdose risk in the year after an emergency department visit 

A new NIMH-funded study found that people who presented to California emergency departments with deliberate self-harm or suicidal ideation had suicide rates significantly higher than those of demographically similar Californians in the year after discharge.
