Background: First-hand accounts of lived experience of suicide remain rare in the research literature. Increasing interest in the lived experience of suicide is resulting in more opportunities for people to participate in research based on their personal experience. How individuals choose to participate in research, and their experience of doing so, are important considerations in the ethical conduct of research. (2) Methods: To understand the experience of providing care for someone who has previously attempted suicide, a cross-sectional online community survey was conducted. This survey concluded with questions regarding motivation to participate and the experience of doing so. Of the 758 individuals who participated in the survey, 545 provided open-ended text responses to questions regarding motivation and 523 did so for questions regarding the experience of participating. It is these responses that are the focus of this paper. Data were analysed thematically. (3) Results: Motivations to participate were expressed as primarily altruistic in nature, with a future focus on improving the experience of the person who had attempted suicide alongside carers to ease distress. The experience of participating was difficult yet manageable, for all but a few participants. (4) Conclusions: With the increasing interest in first-hand accounts of suicide, how individuals experience participation in research is an important focus that requires further attention.

The primary aims of this report are to provide a review of literature relating to suicide bereavement
support with an emphasis on evidence-based interventions and to identify examples of current suicide
bereavement support practice in Ireland and internationally.
Therefore this report has five main sections, addressing the following aims:
1. To introduce and provide and understanding of suicide bereavement
2. To identify supports offered to and utilised by individuals bereaved by suicide
3. To summarise evidence for interventions tailored for those bereaved by suicide
4. To present case studies illustrating community responses to suicide internationally
5. To describe policy and case studies of suicide bereavement services in Ireland

The specific objectives of this study were to examine variation in the care of self-harm patients in hospital settings and to identify the factors that predict recommended next care following self-harm.; Data on consecutive presentations to Irish emergency departments (EDs) involving self-harm from the National Self-Harm Registry Ireland from 2004 to 2012 were utilised. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to assess the associations between patients' clinical and demographic characteristics, and recommended next care received.; Across the study period a total 101,904 self-harm presentations were made to hospital EDs, involving 63,457 individuals. Over the course of the study there was a declining number of presentations resulting in patient admission following attendance with self-harm. Recommended next care varied according to hospital location, with general admission rates ranging from 11% to 61% across administrative health regions. Multinomial logistic regression identified that the factor which most strongly affected next care was the presenting hospital. Being male, older age, method, repeat self-harm, time of attendance and residence of the patient were all identified as influencing care received. Psychiatric admission was most common when highly lethal methods of self-harm were used (OR = 4.00, 95% CI, 3.63-4.41). A relatively large proportion of patients left the ED without being seen (15%) and the risk of doing so was highest for self-harm repeaters (1.64, 1.55-1.74 for those with 5+ presentations).; The extensive hospital variation in recommended next care indicates that management of self-harm patients may be determined more by where they present than by the needs of the patient. The study outcomes underline the need to standardise the clinical management of self-harm patients in general hospital settings.
Data on consecutive presentations to Irish emergency departments (EDs) involving self-harm from the National Self-Harm Registry Ireland from 2004 to 2012 were utilised. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to assess the associations between patients' clinical and demographic characteristics, and recommended next care received.

This is the fifteenth annual report from the
National Self-Harm Registry Ireland. It is based on
data collected on persons presenting to hospital
emergency departments (EDs) following self-harm
in 2016 in the Republic of Ireland. The Registry had
near complete coverage of the country’s hospitals
for the period 2002-2005 and, since 2006, all
general hospital and paediatric hospital EDs in the
Republic of Ireland have contributed data to the
Registry

The following pages give a broad outline of the work done to-date
to address the growing problem of suicide and self-destructive
behaviour in Ireland.
It has encompasses our plans and ambitions to progress this work
in the future, which will not be possible without support and
understanding from you and from others whose co-operation and

"The Minister for Health and Children shall, not later than 9 months after the end of each year beginning with the year 2002,

The report provides interesting and informative
comparisons. It sheds particular light on the urban-rural
contrasts which have been highlighted earlier in reports such
as the Prototype Annual Report prepared by the Registry
using data collected from 1995 to 1997 within the preceding
monitoring study undertaken by the National Suicide
Research Foundation. In as much as direct senal
comparisons are possible, given small changes in data
collection procedures, the current report appears to suggest
a particular change in parasuicide rates for men within the
Southern Health Board, specifically within Cork City. The
1995 to 1997 data showed male rates for Cork City on par
with those for women. Parity between men and women is
usual for urban areas, in contrast to rural areas where rates
for women generally significantly exceed rates for men.
Parity between men and women is still observed for Limerick
City and for Galway City. This first annual report suggests that
rates for men in Cork City are now significantly lower than for
women.

INTRODUCTION
Ireland’s Central Statistics Office (CSO) and national statistics offices in other European countries classify
the cause of every death according to the World Health Organization’s International Classification of
Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death (ICD). Deaths not due to illness or disease are due to an
external cause and generally comprise accidental falls, drownings and poisonings, suicides, road traffic
accidents and homicides. The providers of the information used by national statistics offices to classify
external causes of death varies across Europe.
In Ireland in the 1960s, coroners were the primary providers of such information to the CSO. At this
time, suicide was considered a crime in Ireland and religious sanctions against suicide were in place.
Ireland had one of the lowest official suicide rates in Europe, though significant underreporting of suicide
was suspected.

Injury is a global pub
lic health emergency
affecting mostly children and young adults.
Worldwide there are 16,000 injury related
deaths each day. Injury
is the leading cause of
death for individuals
aged between 0 and 40
years (World Health
Organisation, 2003).
Throughout the European Union injuries
account for 11% of all hospital admissions
(Council of the European Union 2007).
