N2  - Little is known about suicide among individuals with mild intellectual disabilities (mid).<br/> AIM: To explore risk factors for suicide among a small group of clients with mid who committed suicide.<br/> METHOD: Case files of 11 clients with mid were analysed using the Integrated Motivational Volitional model.<br/> RESULTS: Most suicides seem to have taken place impulsively and not on the basis of a predetermined plan. Most clients had comorbid mental health problems, predominantly trauma-related, impulse control and externalizing behavioural problems. The (imminent) loss of contact, such as in the case of transfer from one ward to another ward or to a facility, seems an important risk factor for suicide. <br/> CONCLUSION: Clients with mid residing in a treatment facility may have an increased risk of suicide because of an interaction between client characteristics and treatment context.<p /> <p>Language: nl</p>
