Evaluating a Caregiver-Report Suicide-Risk Screener for Young Children

This study is testing a new way to identify suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) in children aged 4-7. Currently, there aren't many good tools to do this for very young children. Researchers have developed a screener that caregivers can use to report on their child's behaviors. This study will see how well this caregiver-report screener works in a real clinic setting. It will gather feedback from mental health professionals and caregivers to make the screener better and easier to use. The main goal is to help identify children at risk earlier so they can get the support they need.
