The Components and Characteristics of Safety Management Plans Used to Reduce the Risk of Self Harm: A PRISMA Scoping Review.

Background: The term "safety management planning" can be thought of as having evolved to constitute a number of different intervention types and components used across various clinical settings with various populations. This poses a challenge for effective communication between clinicians and likely variability in the clinical effectiveness of these interventions.

Aim: This PRISMA Scoping Review aims to review the literature to ascertain which intervention components and characteristics currently fall under this umbrella term as well as in which contexts the plans are delivered and who is involved in the process.
