Detailed Description:

It is well known that many subjects who survived a suicide attempt will make further suicide attempts, even after the medical treatment at critical emergency unit. To examine the effectiveness of continuous follow-up care by case manager after the suicide attempt, a randomized, controlled, multicenter trial by J-MISP (Japanese Multimodal Intervention Trials).This research project is one of the strategic research projects funded by The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. In this study, J-MISP will implement the intervention for suicide attempters, a considerably high-risk group of further suicide attempts, who are transported by emergency services.
