Summary

This study tests a program called PC CARES, which trains local health workers in rural Alaska to lead a series of group discussions called Learning Circles. The goal is to help adults who work with youth learn about suicide prevention, build community support, and take action. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, confidence, and behaviors among adults, as well as youth connectedness and protective factors, to see if the program makes a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Promoting Community Conversations About Research to End Suicide (PC CARES) program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could provide a scalable, community-driven approach to reduce suicide risk in rural Alaska Native communities.
What could go wrong
This is a pragmatic trial measuring changes in knowledge and behaviors, not direct suicide rates, so the real-world impact on preventing deaths remains uncertain.
