WHO (Nordic) multicentre study on parasuicide

Abstract
Sixteen centres from 14 different European countries are participating in the WHO/Euro multicentre study on parasuicide. In this paper the Nordic part of the research project is presented. Both the epidemiologic monitoring study and the repetition prediction study (EP-SIS) are introduced. The catchment areas covered by each of the five Nordic centres are described, along with selection procedures and assessment instruments. Moreover, some recent incidence data on parasuicide event rates in the Nordic catchment areas are also presented. Finally, a progress of the repetition prediction study is described.
