Predicting suicide risk with the Oxford Mental Illness and Suicide (OxMIS) model

Researchers at the University of Oxford, Warneford Hospital, U.K., looking into a suicide prevention tool have published a paper titled “Predicting suicide risk in 137,112 people with severe mental illness in Finland: external validation of the Oxford Mental Illness and Suicide tool (OxMIS)” in the journal Translational Psychiatry. It details their efforts to retrospectively utilize a 17-question assessment tool as a predictor of suicide from a large cohort with severe mental illness (SMI).
