Summary

This study examines the clinical and socioeconomic factors linked to suicidal behavior in children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Researchers will collect data from 6,500 participants aged 8 to 17, including medical records and interviews, to understand how lockdowns and social restrictions impacted mental health. The goal is to identify patterns and risk factors to better prevent future tragedies.
