ER suicide prevention plan put to the test

This study looked at whether a simple safety-planning tool can help people who come to the emergency room after a suicide attempt or with severe suicidal thoughts. The plan involves creating a personalized list of coping strategies and support contacts. Researchers wanted to see if it's practical to use in a busy ER and if patients find it helpful. 58 adults took part, and the study focused on how often the plan was used and how satisfied patients were.
