DESCRIPTION:National suicide prevention strategies propose sex-specific ap
 proaches. Sex moderates pathways underlying suicidal behaviour\, with oest
 rogen decline implicated in suicidal behaviour in women postpartum and dur
 ing menopause\, and testosterone linked to threat responsiveness in men co
 nsistent with the rise in suicidal behaviour in mades form adolescence to 
 a middle-age peak. \n\nDomestic abuse (DA) is legally defined in England a
 s harm perpetrated by an adult towards another adult who is a partner or r
 elative. Domestic abuse\, including domestic homicide\, is more commonly e
 xperienced by women compared to me\, and more commonly perpetrated by men 
 than women. A 2013 review showed association of domestic abuse and suicida
 l behaviour\, but was limited by sample size\, and by incomplete exposure 
 measurement and outcome collection\, and only studied women. Mental health
  services are a critical site for positively impacting suicide prevention\
 , so I describe work to:\n\na) systematically measure DA exposure and perp
 etration and\nb) assess association of DA exposure and perpetration with s
 uicide and self-harm\, in men and women using mental health services in En
 gland. \n\nImplications of these results are discussed for implementation 
 of suicide prevention by mental health service providers\, practice guidel
 ines for DA presponses\, and epidemiological surveillance for suicide/self
 -harm and risk factors. \n\nTo join online\, please use the Zoom details b
