abstract="Over a 9 year period, 532 people with a long term mental illness received the services of a community based case management program. Of the 532 clients, 13 committed suicide (2%). This group was compared to a control group matched for age, sex and length of stay in the program. No differences were found with regard to most socio-demographic and clinical variables investigated. However, statistically significant differences were found with regard to chronicity and number of post-admittance hospitalizations. Difficulties in establishing a working relationship were noted more often for clients who committed suicide. Some of the implications for case management programs are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
