Summary

This study tests a digital program called I-CARE for teens aged 12-17 who are stuck in the emergency room waiting for a psychiatric hospital bed. The program uses tablet-based videos and workbook exercises to teach coping skills. Researchers want to see if it reduces suicidal thoughts and emotional distress compared to standard care alone. About 173 teens will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
I-CARE digital intervention (tablet-based animated videos and workbook exercises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give hospitals a simple, low-cost way to support teens during the stressful wait for psychiatric care, potentially reducing suicidal thoughts.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (173 teens) testing a new digital tool. It may not show a clear benefit, and results might not apply to all teens or hospital settings.
