Abstract
Background
Tackling methods of suicide and limiting access to lethal means remain priority areas of suicide prevention strategies. Although mental health services are a key setting for suicide prevention, no recent studies have explored methods used by mental health patients.
Aims
To investigate associations between main suicide methods and social, behavioural and clinical characteristics in patients with mental illness to inform prevention and improve patient safety
