Abstract

General hospital psychiatrists were given a pilot questionnaire aimed at characterizing patients evaluated for suicidality. Twenty-seven patients evaluated for suicidality in a 4-month period were studied for demographic, medical, psychiatric, and suicidal variables. Comparison with medical patients who had attempted/completed suicide in prior studies and recommendations to reduce suicidal impulses and improve the database were discussed.
