First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will enroll 220 adults in India who have had high suicidal thoughts or a recent suicide attempt. Researchers will use questionnaires and thinking tests to measure executive function, metacognition (awareness of one's own thoughts), and stigma around suicide. The goal is to understand how these factors relate to each other and to suicidal behavior, which could help improve prevention efforts.
