  • Outcomes in Suicidal Bridge Jumping in the Lower Mainland-JRB
    Outcomes in suicidal bridge jumping in the Lower Mainland by DYLAN STEPHANIAN BASc, The University of British Columbia, 2014 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Experimental Medicine) The University of British ColumbiA (Vancouver) December, 2019 © Dylan Stephanian, 2019 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the thesis entitled: Outcomes in suicidal bridge jumping in the Lower Mainland Submitted by Dylan Stephanian in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MAster of Science in Experimental Medicine. Examining committee Dr Jeff Brubacher, Emergency Medicine Supervisor Dr Doug Brown, Emergency Medicine Supervisory Committee Member Dr Andrew MacPherson, Emergency Medicine External Examiner ii Abstract On average, one person attempts suicide by jumping from a bridge in the Lower Mainland of British ColumbiA once every 14 days, but the population that jumps and their outcomes following a suicide attempt are poorly understood. A multi-agency retrospective chart review was performed using records from the Canadian Coast Guard, Joint Rescue Coordination Center, police departments, and the British Columbia Coroner’s Service to identify incidents. A complete picture of each incident was then built by identifying corresponding BC Ambulance Service and hospital records, and linking all records for each incident. This methodology successfully identified a comprehensive list of incidents, and may be useful in future prehospital and search and rescue medicine research. Records from the ten agencies involved in these incidents were collected and linked to create a dataset describing all known jumps from a bridge >12m in height in the Lower Mainland of BC from January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2017.
