Within a population of suicide attempters consenting to a brief intervention trial, the risk of re-attempt was strongly predicted by subjects' young age, history of previous attempts, psychiatric hospitalizations, and personality disorder, particularly borderline personality disorder. The composition of treated populations with regard to these characteristics may strongly influence the observed success of brief interventions. Their potential as moderators of treatment effectiveness and as indicators of the utility of brief interventions warrants further investigation.HIGHLIGHTSDuring the 2-year follow-up, 32% of trial participants reattempted suicide.Rates of reattempts varied and were strongly predicted by clinical subgroup.Subgroup composition may strongly influence brief interventions' observed outcome.
