Overview

This study investigated the acceptability of systematic telephone follow-up for people who had attempted suicide. The study found that telephone follow-up one month after the suicide attempt was associated with a lower rate of repeat attempts compared to no follow-up. A majority of patients who received follow-up found it beneficial and felt it had a positive impact on their lives. While some patients would have preferred earlier follow-up, most found the method of contact acceptable. The study highlights the importance of considering patients' perspectives in managing suicide attempts and emphasizes the value of simply listening to and understanding patients' experiences.
