Australasian Psychiatry, 2018, Advance online publication, 3 April 2018
In this letter, the authors report a de-identified clinical audit of 84 immigrant victims of family violence presenting at two private psychiatric clinics (City and Bundoora, Victoria) with a focus on suicidality, its association with mental conditions and outcome after treatment. Patient permission to use de-identified data for research and teaching purposes was obtained. Two ethnic groups – South Asian victims (n = 56; one male) and Middle Eastern victims (n = 28; all females) – were provided treatments as usual for mental health conditions and followed up for nine months. Clear differences emerged between the two groups. (From the letter). Record #5860
