Summary
This study tests a short suicide prevention program for teens (ages 10-18) who have low to moderate suicide risk. The program is delivered in pediatric primary care clinics to make it easier for teens to get help. Researchers will check if doctors and families find the program useful and if it helps parents feel more confident keeping their child safe.
