abstract="BACKGROUND: Family members are key in detecting early suicide warning signs. This study compared the reasons for suicidality as reported by attempt survivors with their family folks in Ghana. <br><br>METHODS: A qualitative design was used to select a sample size of 20 (10 family members and 10 suicide attempt survivors). Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. <br><br>RESULTS: Analysis of the data showed two major themes: 1) Similar Reasons (where both families and attempt survivors consistently reported similar reasons for suicidality and 2) Different Reasons (where there were sharp divergences). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this study help to understand the readiness of attempt survivor family members to intervene early during suicidal crisis.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
