The National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Homicide by People with Mental Illness, originally established in 1992, was relocated to Manchester in 1996 with the aim of studying homicides and suicides by people with mental illness in the UK. The Inquiry collects a comprehensive national sample of homicides and suicides, using data from the Home Office and court reports in the case of homicide, and from public health mortality files for suicide. When there has been contact with specialist mental health services, mental health teams are asked to provide further information in a standard questionnaire. The Inquiry is particularly interested in final contact with services prior to death and collects detailed information on various priority groups and the process of risk assessment. The findings will be the basis of recommendations on to clinical practice and training, with the aim of reducing avoidable deaths resulting from mental illness (Int J Psych Clin Pract 1997; 1: 69-71).
国家精神疾病患者自杀与他杀机密调查（National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Homicide by People with Mental Illness），于 1992 年成立，1996 年迁至曼彻斯特，旨在研究英国精神疾病患者的自杀与他杀事件。该调查通过内政部和法庭报告收集有关凶杀案的全面全国样本，通过公共卫生死亡率档案收集自杀案的样本。当涉及与专门的精神卫生服务机构有联系时，精神卫生团队会被要求在标准问卷中提供进一步的信息。该调查特别关注死亡前与服务机构的最后接触，并收集有关各种优先群体和风险评估过程的详细信息。调查结果将成为有关临床实践和培训的建议的基础，旨在减少因精神疾病而导致的可避免死亡（国际精神病临床实践杂志 1997 年；1：69-71）。
