Summary

This study tests a tablet-based program called Plan & Protect for teens aged 12-17 who visit rural emergency departments with suicidal thoughts or self-harm. The program helps teens and their caregivers create a personalized safety plan and reduce access to firearms and medications at home. Researchers will compare outcomes for families who use the program to those who receive usual care, measuring changes in home safety and suicide risk over three months.
