3\. Is there, in individuals with intractable self-harm, a relevant improvement in voluntary hospital admissions?

4\. Is there, in individuals with intractable self-harm, a relevant improvement in compulsary hospital admissions?

5\. Is there, in individuals with intractable self-harm, a relevant improvement in the use of medication pro re nata?
