Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
