Introduction
Suicide among patients with schizophrenia is a significant
clinical problem (Shields et al. 2007, Haukka et al. 2008)
and a major cause of mortality in this population (Hish et al.
2006, Limosin et al. 2007). The risk of suicide and patients’
mental symptoms present a significant working burden for
community health care providers (Bowers 1997, Pollard
2007). Suicide has been strongly associated with suicide
attempts (Carlborg et al. 2010), but most reports related to
predictors of suicide attempts in patients with schizophrenia
have been based on inpatients (Neuner et al. 2008, Carlborg
et al. 2010). Nonetheless, suicide attempts in these patients
are also an important issue for community-based health care
providers caring for outpatients with schizophrenia (Ran
et al. 2003, Tidemalm et al. 2005).
