Abstract:With the help of the calculated hazard we assume three different time periods of high suicide risk, and describe three vulnerability profiles of prisoners within the specific periods.
Conclusion:Sophisticated statistical methods help to estimate high risk periods. Thereof it is possible to derive specific vulnerability profiles for prisoners at high suicide risk. We assume that with this knowledge suicide prevention programs in prisons and jails could be made more effective and economic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
