16 | AWARE 3 - Weighting

Would love to hear your thoughts...

Episode 16 explores how assessors rate suicidality in different kinds of presentation i.e. weighting. The AWARE study established that the weighting of suicidality could be impacted by:

1. Diagnosis (Personality Disorder and Substance misuse counted for less)
2. Course (Acute trumped acute on chronic, which trumped chronic)
3.  Social Causation (Carried less weight than biological presentations)

These factors influenced the way in which the professionals would view the person's suicidality and ultimately impact clinical decision making and care allocation
