NCT ID NCT05654207

Summary

This study is testing a new emergency room program called WeCare designed to prevent suicide among Black teenagers. The program screens youth for suicide risk, provides immediate counseling and safety planning, and sends supportive text messages to families for six weeks after their ER visit. Researchers aim to see if this coordinated approach helps connect more youth to mental health care and reduces suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
