Suicide Treatment Alternatives for Teens
This study, called "Suicide Treatment Alternatives for Teens," is looking at the best ways to help teenagers who are having suicidal thoughts or behaviors. It compares two types of care: Inpatient Psychiatry (staying in a hospital for treatment) and Outpatient Crisis Intervention Clinic (getting treatment at a clinic without staying overnight). Researchers want to see if one of these approaches leads to fewer suicidal events and higher satisfaction for both teens and their families. You might be able to join if you are between 12 and 18 years old, come to the emergency room because of suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and need a higher level of care. The study aims to enroll up to 1,000 participants and will track how long it takes for a suicidal event to happen again and the number of events over 180 days after treatment.
