Summary

This study aims to find the best way to prevent suicide in young people ages 12-24 who are at high risk. Researchers will compare two short, proven crisis interventions given in emergency rooms: one focuses on creating a safety plan and follow-up calls, while the other teaches skills to handle relationship problems that can lead to suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see which approach better reduces suicidal thoughts and attempts, and to improve care for diverse youth in five U.S. cities.
