OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Choice of suicide method(s) and location can strongly influence the outcome of an attempt, and methods used at an index episode of non-fatal self-harm may predict risk of future suicide. However, the reasons why individuals consider, choose or discard particular methods and locations are not well understood. Drawing on a recent research project, in this talk I will discuss the decision-making process around specific methods and locations, and clusters thereof, in relation to both suicidal thoughts and attempts. As well as highlighting some of the challenges and the potential for interdisciplinary methodological innovation in this area of research, I aim to illustrate how this work can find practical application in clinical contexts and inform wider preventative initiatives.
