Blocking paths to suicide: a data linkage program to identify modifiable risk factors for self-poisoning and suicide in Australia

这项研究考察了药物使用和自杀之间的关系。一些药物可能比其他药物毒性更大，识别这些药物可以进行有针对性的限制。此外，药物使用习惯可能会影响自残和自杀。这项研究将确定模式(例如，死亡前不遵守，不正确的剂量)，以确定有益或有害的做法。这将改善结果，并有助于通过有针对性的立法和政策指导自杀预防。

This research examines the relationship between medicines use and suicide. Some medicines may be more toxic than others and identification of these could allow for targeted restrictions. In addition, medication use practices may influence self-harm and suicide. This research will identify patterns (e.g. non-adherence prior to death, incorrect doses) to pinpoint beneficial or harmful practices. This will improve outcomes and help guide suicide prevention through targeted legislation and policy.
