<unk> <unk> <unk>  is a process of estimating the likelihood for a person to attempt or die by<unk> . The goal of a thorough<unk> <unk>  is to learn about the circumstances of an individual person with regard to<unk> , including warning signs,<unk>  factors, and protective factors.<unk>  for<unk>  is re-evaluated throughout the course of care to assess the patient's response to personal situational changes and clinical interventions. Accurate and defensible<unk> <unk>  requires a clinician to integrate a clinical judgment with the latest evidence-based practice, although accurate prediction of low base rate events, such as<unk> , is inherently difficult and prone to false positives. The<unk>  process is ethically complex: the concept of "imminent<unk> " (implying the foreseeability of an inherently unpredictable act) is a legal construct in a clinical guise, which can be used to justify the rationing of emergency psychiatric resources or intrusion into patients' civil liberties. Some experts recommend abandoning<unk> <unk> <unk>  as it is so inaccurate. In addition<unk> <unk> <unk>  is often conflated with<unk>  of self-harm which has little overlap with<unk> . Instead, it is suggested that the emotional state which has caused the<unk> l thoughts, feelings or behaviour should be the focus of<unk>  with a view to helping the patient rather than reducing the anxiety of clinician who overestimates the<unk>  of<unk>  and are fearful of litigation. Given the difficulty of<unk>  prediction, researchers have attempted to improve the state of the art in both<unk>  and<unk> l behavior prediction using natural language processing and machine learning applied to electronic health records.
