    Anyone who knows anything at all about suicide prevention is unsurprised by this. We know that observation does not work because staff cannot maintain it. This is true whether it's 15 minute obs, 5 minute obs, permanent line of sight obs, arms length obs, two to one arms length obs: they do not work.

    There are countless examples of staff in hospital, on duty, doing obs, knowing their patient is at increased risk of suicide, falling asleep.

    Registered healthcare professionals - dietitians - disagree with you, and do so pretty strongly.

    Why not link to real numbers though? Haidt doesn't understand the numbers, misquotes them out of context, and mangles the data.

    This is simply false.
