Suicide risk assessment in public mental health services: Public perspectives

A brief (10-15 min) online survey will be conducted to establish perspectives of the public on suicide attempts.

For people with lived experience of suicide risk assessment, or their whānau/carers, there will be some additional questions on suicide risk assessment processes, the measures they have experience of, and how these could be improved.

For those participants who express interest in future involvement, there may be the option of one-to-one interviews and a co-design hui later in the year.

We are inviting the following people to participate in the study:

• Members of the public, based anywhere in Aotearoa New Zealand
• Aged at least 18

Participants may be:

• General members of the community with an interest in mental health, or
• People with lived experience of self harm or their whānau/carers
