Verbally Expressed Intentions of Parasuicide: II. Prediction of Fatal and Nonfatal Repetition
Abstract
The predictive value of verbally expressed intentions of parasuicide was studied in 925 patients admitted after deliberate self-harm to one of the health care facilities in the county of Sør-Trøndelag, Norway. Repetition of the suicidal act was studied prospectively, and the results showed that verbally expressed intention to die at the index parasuicide did predict fatal repetition (suicide) but not nonfatal repetition (parasuicide) of the suicidal act.
