Evaluate self-harm risk across a broad range of mental disorders (MDs) and temporal patterns of self-harm risk after discharge from psychiatric hospitals in Hong Kong (HK); Develop and validate risk-prediction-models for self-harm in pre-specified MDs (schizophrenia-spectrum-disorder, bipolar-disorder, depressive-disorder, substance/alcohol-use-disorders, personality-disorders) and for 12-month post-discharge self-harm.
