NCT ID NCT06629220
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study brought together men who have had suicidal thoughts to help design suicide prevention tools. Over up to 10 meetings, 13 men gave feedback on tool drafts, focusing on usability, privacy, and support. The goal was to create resources that truly fit their needs.
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 lead to more effective, user-friendly suicide prevention tools that better meet the needs of men in crisis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 13 participants, so the tools may not work for all men or in larger, more diverse groups.
