Abstract

Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) in managing suicide risk and deliberate self-harm in adults.

Methods: Ten databases were searched for publications referring to CAMS or the Suicide Status Form. Results were evaluated by two reviewers.

Results: Limited evidence that CAMS is effective in reducing suicide risk and deliberate self-harm in adult populations.

Conclusions: Although CAMS appears to show promise in managing suicidal patients across a range of measures, further evidence is needed to clarify its efficacy in managing suicide risk and deliberate self-harm.

Keywords: CAMS; collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality; self-harm; suicide; suicide prevention.
