Abstract: This paper is a response to the recent BMJ Mental Health publication, 'Clinician perspectives on the utility and acceptability of OxSATS: a qualitative study of a novel structured suicide risk assessment tool.’1 We outline several methodological limitations, including a dissonance between the participants’ responses and the study conclusions, recruitment, reflexivity, and conflict of interests. We conclude with highlighting the importance of scientific standards and academic integrity in producing trusted, unbiased, good quality research.
