Suicide attempts related to childhood adversity
Men in forensic hospital with a suicide attempt history had more adverse events in their childhood than other men, and had more antisocial features.
What is it about?
Most research about individuals in forensic psychiatric care focuses on patient deficits and criminal offending. In contrast, my research examines their adjustment, physical health, treatment needs, and progress. I look for ways to help identify individuals who can benefit from extra support, and tools to help clinicians do this. This lab follows a cohort of 638 men admitted to forensic psychiatry, through their documented experiences and events.
