Long-term outcomes following self-poisoning in adolescents: A population-based cohort study.
Finkelstein, Y.~~Macdonald, E.~~et al.
Suicide is the third most common cause of death among adolescents worldwide, and poisoning is the leading method of attempted suicide. Unlike more violent methods, survival after self-poisoning is common, providing an opportunity for secondary prevention. We determined the risk and time course of completed suicide after adolescent self-poisoning, and explored potential risk factors.
