NCT ID NCT06658808
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
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 lead to

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.
