Summary

This study adapts a suicide risk screening program called the NIMH Clinical Pathway for use in two school-based health centers in rural West Virginia. Researchers will work with 30 participants—students, parents, and providers—to see if the program is practical and effective at identifying teens at risk and connecting them to help. The goal is to gather early data on how well this approach works in a real-world school setting.

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 provide a practical way to identify and help at-risk teens in rural areas, potentially reducing suicide attempts.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early-stage study (30 participants) focused on feasibility, not a large trial. Results may not apply to other regions or schools.
