Lay Summary :
This study aims to calculate standardised rates of attendance at A&E for episodes of self-harm at ward or LSOA level across Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham and Croydon, to determine whether neighbourhood level characteristics including deprivation and social fragmentation explain differences in rates of self-harm presentation across the four boroughs, and to consider whether the individual characteristics of those individuals presenting account for area level differences in rates of self-harm presentation.
