New therapy aims to stop teen suicide relapse
NCT ID NCT02963870
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a cognitive-behavioral security plan to standard care could prevent repeat suicide attempts in teens aged 12-17 who were hospitalized after a suicide attempt. The plan focused on coping strategies and relapse prevention. However, the trial was terminated early, so we have limited data on its effectiveness.
