TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Deliberate self-poisoning: the need for a new approach JO - Health trends A1 - Cameron, Ian D. A1 - Renvoize, E. A1 - Garside, G. SP - 126 EP - 128 VL - 22 IS - 3 N2 - New community-based preventive initiatives are required if a reduction in deliberate self-poisoning is to be achieved. Local epidemiological data can be used in a health education approach, directed at professionals who have the most contact with potential cases of deliberate self-poisoning and also to those people falling within identified high-risk groups. Such initiatives require defined outcome measures and a number are proposed. The implications for data collection on deliberate self-poisoning are discussed.
