TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Predictive properties of risk assessment instruments following self-harm JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Owens, David A1 - Kelley, Rachael SP - 384 EP - 386 VL - 210 IS - 6 N2 - This month's BJPsych publishes two important studies concerned with the use of risk assessment scales after self-harm, one a systematic review and the other a multicentre cohort study. We agree with the authors: that each study adds weight to the existing evidence that points towards avoiding the use of such scales in clinical practice.
