Summary

This completed study tested a program that uses trained community health workers to help primary care clinics better screen and support Latinx teenagers at risk for suicide. The program included phone sessions with parents focusing on safety planning and education. Researchers measured how many teens were screened and how many completed the sessions to see if the approach is feasible.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: community health worker support program (PALOMA)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show a practical way to better identify and support Latinx youth at risk of suicide in primary care settings.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study with only 76 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It focuses on feasibility, not on proving the program reduces suicide attempts.
