In the published article, there was an error made in the abstract and introduction regarding the prevalence of mental health service use prior to suicide. The abstract previously stated: "The majority of people who die by suicide have never seen a mental health professional or been diagnosed with a mental illness."The corrected sentence appears below: "The majority of people who die by suicide had contact with mental health services in the year prior to death".Further, the first paragraph of the Introduction previously stated: "Notably, over two-thirds of individuals who die from suicide do not receive professional mental health support."The corrected sentence appears below: "Notably, over two-thirds of individuals who die from suicide do not receive professional mental health support (including seeing a general practitioner or mental health professional for mental health or substance use reasons) in the year prior to death."While we have included a definition of formal mental health services in the Method section, we have also included a brief definition in the Introduction to minimize confusion for readers.The following reference was provided in our original article, which supports our corrected sentences:Stene-Larsen K, Reneflot A.

(2019) 47:9-17. doi: 10.1177/1403494817746274The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
