Exploring the validity of the Fantastic Lifestyle Checklist in an inner city population of people presenting with suicidal behaviours.

Abstract

Although patients demonstrate a range of problematic health-related lifestyle behaviours preceding suicidal behaviour, there is little research that routinely measure these behaviours. This paper seeks to establish the utility of health-related lifestyle measure (Fantastic Lifestyle Checklist) in people presenting to a major inner city Emergency Department with a range of suicidal behaviours.
