How to establish case registers: II. Non-fatal deliberate self-harm
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
The importance of establishing registers for non-fatal deliberate self-harm is discussed along with their potential uses. Deliberate self-harm (DSH) data for a single hospital can be derived from the Accident and Emergency (A&E) casualty cards, A&E on-line registers, mental health assessments or general hospital in-patient data. The relative merits of these different data sources are discussed and local methods described. Some data derived from the DSH register are shown.
