Abstract

The authors wish to note an amendment to the following text in the original article: ‘[…] This may be an over-estimation because, while the only published study investigating VBPMM’s impact on self-harm reported a 44% relative reduction in self-harm rates in patients' bedrooms on two VBPMM wards compared to two control wards without VBPMM, the actual reduction in self-harm rates on the VBPMM wards alone was only 22% [1]. Additionally, these models calculated Accident and Emergency self-harm treatment costs using the weighted average of fracture codes, which risks over-estimating cost savings […]’ The authors wish to acknowledge the ‘Stop Oxevision’ campaign’s contribution in the context of this text, and to note that it should instead read as follows: ‘[…] The Stop Oxevision campaign [2] argues that this may be an over-estimation because, while the only published study investigating VBPMM’s impact on self-harm reported a 44% relative reduction in self-harm rates in patients’ bedrooms on two VBPMM wards compared to two control wards without VBPMM, the actual reduction in self-harm rates on the VBPMM wards alone was only 22% [1, 3].
