NCT ID NCT07068685
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a computer program that predicts suicide risk can help primary care doctors find patients who may need extra mental health support. Researchers will compare how many patients are identified and get a safety plan before and after the program is used. About 500,000 adults at Kaiser Permanente Washington will take part, but no new treatments are given—just monitoring and documentation.
