First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new approach to help people with suicidal thoughts by creating a personalized plan based on each person's unique patterns. Researchers will use daily surveys and data analysis to identify what triggers suicidal thoughts and then teach specific coping skills. The goal is to see if a highly tailored program works better than a less personalized one. The study involves 70 adults aged 18-65 who are currently having suicidal thoughts.
