Summary
In the UK, men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women, despite women being two times more likely to self-harm or attempt suicide than men (the two biggest risk factors for future death by suicide).
This PhD study is looking at self-harm and suicide in males compared to females, with a view to addressing this discrepancy. This will start with a systematic review (and meta-analysis) on the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for self-harm in males compared to females.
