2 37% of those who died by suicide did not have a mental health diagnosis recorded on the GP database. 52% had not been prescribed psychotropic drug treatment in the year before they died. Suicide in primary care in England: 2002-2011. In primary care patients who die by suicide, mental illness is frequently unrecognised Suicide risk is associated with frequent GP attendance, increasing attendance, but also non- attendance.

3 Hawton, Saunders, O'Connor Self-harm and Suicide in Adolescents. The Lancet 2012, 379 ; 2373-2382 Self-harm and suicide in adolescents

4 19% Nineteen per cent of deaths following self harm were by suicide In young people up to 50% of deaths following self harm are by suicide* Suicide occurred in 1.6% of patients (2.6% of males and 0.9% of females) after self harm Risk was 49 times greater than the general population risk Risk of suicide increased with age.

5 What bridges the gap between self- harm and suicidality? 50% of young people who engage in self-harm may experience suicidality Those who have a history of suicidal behaviour are older, more likely to have a psychiatric diagnosis, and regularly use illicit substances Self-forgiveness and Resilience factors (support seeking and problem solving) are protective. What bridges the gap between self-harm and suicidality: the role of forgiveness, resilience and attachment Lin, Nagra and Upthegrove manuscript in preparation

6 Suicide prevention in schools Great platform for prevention efforts – Age appropriate given risk – Captive audience Few trials to date – Most from USA – Most focus on intermediate outcomes rather than suicidal behaviours

7 The SEYLE study Wasserman et al, Lancet (2015) 168 schools in 10 European countries Tested three active interventions against control – Teacher education, screening, and a student program – Primary outcome was suicide attempt at 3 or 12 month follow-up

8 The SEYLE study Results – No effects at 3 months – Significant difference at 12 months for the student program (Odds ratio for suicide attempts = 0.45) Not without problems! Nonetheless, suggests universal prevention might be possible
