New program aims to help doctors prevent suicide in autistic teens
NCT ID NCT07508436
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new training program called CIPP-A for pediatric providers who care for autistic youth at risk of suicide. About 70 providers will be randomly assigned to learn either the new program or a standard safety planning approach. Researchers will measure how often providers use the program and how confident they feel managing suicide risk over 6 months.
