Theoretically, the interplay of sociodemographic and cultural resources embedded in an individual\u2019s setting can raise or lower risk for suicide. We therefore aim to observe the associations between available social connection resources: social network size and quality, social support, and conflicts, on future 3- and 9-month suicide attempts following heroin detoxification treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Prospective observational study from two state-funded drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in South Africa.
