Exploratory mixed-methods study develops a protocol for managing suicide risk in emergency department patients, highlighting several methodological concerns.
The protocol developed by Tan et al. (2026) for managing repeat suicide risk in Chinese emergency departments is a useful contribution. Three methodological points, however, deserve clarification: an inconsistency in how the mixed-methods design is labelled, the interpretation of Kendall's W as indicating high consensus, and the absence of patient and family lived-experience contributors from both the qualitative and Delphi phases. A minor numerical discrepancy in the protocol revision count is also flagged.
