NCT ID NCT07150832
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a digital program called I-CARE for teens aged 12-17 who are stuck in the emergency room waiting for a psychiatric hospital bed. The program uses tablet-based videos and workbook exercises to teach coping skills. Researchers want to see if it reduces suicidal thoughts and emotional distress compared to standard care alone. About 173 teens will take part.
