I am aware that due to the foundation's reputation for high quality research, it has been invited to participate in several important international studies, among them the WHO-Euro multicentre study of parasuicide. International studies have found parasuicide to be one of the most significant risk factors associated with suicide. Those who engage in parasuicide are 20 times more likely to eventually kill themselves. Studies have shown that at least one third of all suicides have a history of parasuicide.
