Alexandra Pitman

Clinical Associate Professor, Division of Psychiatry 

I am interested in understanding risk factors for suicide attempt and in developing interventions to address them. I am currently working on the following areas:

  • Social and built environment influences on self-harm
  • Suicide attempt risk in vulnerable groups (people bereaved by suicide; people with cancer; LGBT youth; migrants; specific occupational groups; people who identify as lonely)
  • Suicide means restriction
