New research claims to have established the first direct link between suicidal behaviour in Northern Ireland and having experienced traumatic and conflict-related events.
The research was commissioned by the University of Ulster.
It carried out detailed analysis of suicidal thoughts, plans and attempts in a sample of more than 4,000 people.
Prof Siobhan O’Neill from the university said the research was “hugely significant”.
