TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Demographics of people who self-harm deliberately JO - Emergency nurse A1 - Gwashavanhu, Clarence SP - 28 EP - 32 VL - 18 IS - 8 N2 - The suicide rate in the borough of Westminster is the third highest in London and higher than the national average. This is a pressing concern for local healthcare providers and, to begin to reduce the rate, they conducted a prospective audit of the incidence of self-harm, which is a strong predictor of suicide. This article discusses the method and results of the audit, which revealed that the number of people who self-harm is greater than had been estimated previously.
