NCT ID NCT07111052
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a web-based tool called Lock and Protect that helps caregivers of teens at risk for suicide find safe ways to store medications, firearms, and other dangerous items at home. The tool guides parents through options and creates a safety plan. The trial will enroll 50 caregivers and their teens from one hospital's emergency department to see if the tool is easy to use and actually leads to safer storage at home.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could give families a practical way to reduce a teen's access to items used for suicide, potentially saving lives.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply widely. It tests a tool, not a medical treatment, and success depends on caregivers following through.
