Massive 50-Year study seeks childhood clues to suicide

NCT ID NCT03027440

Summary

This study aims to understand if factors from before birth and early childhood can predict a person's risk of suicide later in life. Researchers are analyzing over 50 years of health and development data from 52,966 people, originally collected when they were children in the 1960s, and linking it to national death records. The goal is to identify early warning signs to help with future prevention efforts, not to provide any direct treatment to participants.
