dc.description.abstractSuicide attempts are associated with an increased risk of repeat attempts, completed suicide, chronic psychiatric symptoms, and ongoing psychosocial difficulties. Data is lacking in several areas in the field of suicide prevention and it is vital that clinicians identify factors that increase treatment adherence among patients that attempt suicide. This study aims to examine adherence rates and predictors of adherence to follow-up after a suicide attempt among the patient population of the PEU of Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town. Underlying the study is the hypothesis that sociodemographic factors and the nature of the suicide attempt predict adherence with follow-up subsequent to a suicide attempt.en_ZA
