Summary

This study tests a suicide prevention program called HAVEN-Connect in African American churches. The program teaches youth and adults skills to build supportive relationships, find purpose, and seek help. Researchers will enroll 240 participants from predominantly Black churches to see if the program reduces depression and suicide risk. The goal is to create a culturally relevant approach that can be used in other churches.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
HAVEN-Connect program (behavioral intervention: youth and adult training on mental health support)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a proven, culturally tailored way to prevent suicide in Black communities using churches as a trusted setting.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with 240 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program relies on church engagement, which may vary across communities.
