New spanish suicide risk tools tested in chile
NCT ID NCT07103850
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether Spanish versions of two suicide risk assessment tools work well for adults recently hospitalized for suicidal behavior in Chile. Researchers will check if the questionnaires are reliable and accurate by comparing them with standard psychiatric interviews. The goal is to improve how doctors identify people at immediate risk of suicide in Spanish-speaking populations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide validated Spanish-language tools to better identify people at immediate risk of suicide, potentially improving prevention in Latin America.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early validation study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The tools may not perform as well in other settings or populations.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult psychiatric inpatients (≥18 years old) hospitalized in the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (UHCIP) of the Complejo Asistencial Dr. Sótero del Río (CASR), Santiago, Chile. All participants are admitted due to a recent suicidal event, including suicide attempts, preparatory behaviors, interrupted or aborted attempts, or suicidal ideation requiring emergency care. The sample includes individuals with diverse psychiatric diagnoses and varying levels of acute suicide risk. Participants must be clinically stable, capable of providing informed consent, and fluent in Spanish. The population is representative of high-risk individuals typically seen in public psychiatric emergency settings in Latin America.
