“…First, it is unclear whether these findings will generalize to male samples and to other diagnostic groups. It is particularly important to extend these findings to male samples because of the higher completed suicide among men than women—and because men are less likely than women to seek services (Lyons, Price, Embling, & Smith, 2000). Similarly, examining whether these findings extend to additional clinical samples will help clarify the elevated risk for self-harm in populations with psychopathology, given that more than 90% of those who commit suicide have experienced a mental illness before their death (Lyons et al, 2000).…”

At the beginning of this project in 2002, the committee was unable to find literature describing the implementation of a suicide assessment program at an organizational level or literature describing the effectiveness of such programs.…”

“…Many include the use of rating scales which may be based on standardized tools, such as the Suicide Intent Scale (Pierce 1981). However, Lyons et al (2000) argue that there are problems associated with the use of any standardized tools. These include: staff experience and training specific to the use of the tool, over confidence and complacency with the scoring system, but the major problem is that a tool developed for research purposes may not address practitioner needs.…”
