Summary

This study tests a digital system called e-Connect that helps probation staff identify suicide risk in youth involved with the justice system and quickly connect them to mental health services. The trial involves probation and treatment staff across 9 Indiana counties. Researchers aim to see if the system can be successfully scaled up and whether it improves treatment initiation and engagement.
