TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Secondary prevention of non-fatal deliberate self-harm. The green card study JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Morgan, H. G. A1 - Jones, E. M. A1 - Owen, Johanna H. SP - 111 EP - 112 VL - 163 IS - N2 - In an attempt to address the low compliance with offers of treatment shown by patients after episodes of non-fatal deliberate self-harm (DSH), patients who had harmed themselves for the first time were offered rapid, easy access to on-call trainee psychiatrists in the event of further difficulties, and they were encouraged to seek help at an early stage should such problems arise. The follow-up data obtained after one year showed a significant reduction of actual or seriously threatened DSH in the experimental group, who also made considerably less demands on medical and psychiatric services, when compared with controls.
