NCT ID NCT07305688
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examines whether climate anxiety is linked to suicidal thoughts and behaviors in young people aged 16 to 24 who are receiving psychiatric care. Researchers will use questionnaires to measure climate anxiety, general anxiety, and suicide risk in 108 participants. The goal is to better understand how environmental concerns affect mental health in this vulnerable group.
