Medical Care, part of a special issue devoted to new research on suicide risk and prevention in women. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer. The paths to recovery after a suicide attempt may vary by gender, especially among veterans, according to the new research by Lauren M.
