Prison suicide rate five times higher – new study aims to fix prevention tools
NCT ID NCT07259408
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
People in detention are at much higher risk of suicide than the general population. This study works with 40 participants—20 prison staff and 20 detained individuals—to adapt three suicide prevention tools for use in prisons. Through interviews, researchers will gather feedback to make these tools more practical and effective in the unique prison environment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better, more practical suicide prevention tools tailored for prisons, potentially reducing suicide rates among detained individuals.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so findings may not apply broadly. The tools may still face implementation challenges in real-world detention settings.
