Piloting Suicide Prevention for Black Students in Chicago
This study is testing two different programs to help prevent suicide among Black youth in Chicago schools. One program, called "Black Youth Suicide Prevention in Chicago," uses videos and discussions that are specifically designed for Black students. The other program, "Signs of Suicide," is a standard suicide prevention curriculum. Researchers want to see if these programs can reduce suicidal thoughts (suicidal ideation) in students. You might be able to join if you are a Black student in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade at a participating school, between 11 and 15 years old. The study aims to enroll 300 students. The current status of the study is unclear.
