Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our primary outcome is change in suicide ideation in patients. We hypothesis that, as a result of the improved skills and confidence of healthcare professionals in the experimental condition due to the intervention, suicidal patients are better assessed and treated and will therefore more quickly recover from suicidal ideation. Also we expect less episodes of suicidal ideation, deliberate self-harm, non fatal suicide attempts and less health care consumption of patients in the units of the experimental condition. | — |
