Abstract

The predictive value of verbally expressed intentions of parasuicide was studied in 925 patients admitted after deliberate self-harm to one of the health care facilities in Norway. Repetition of the suicidal act was studied prospectively, and the results showed that verbally expressed intention to die at the index parasuicide did predict fatal repetition (suicide) but not nonfatal repetition (parasuicide) of the suicidal act.
