NCT ID NCT03027440
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study looks at whether factors before birth or in early childhood can predict suicide later in life. Researchers are linking health and development data from about 50,000 people born in the 1960s to national death records. No new participants are being recruited; the study uses existing information to find patterns that might help identify those at higher risk.

Who is studied
All subjects are offspring (n=52,966) born to historic CPP cohort participant mothers between 1959 and 1966 who were known to be alive at age 7 (96.7% of 54,772 total live births), and who would be ages 50 to 57 years at the time of the NDI search if still alive. No new subject accrual is requested. CPP mothers have been previously described. Briefly, they include 46.2% white women, 46.0% were black, 6.8% were Hispanic and 1% of Asian or other descent. Approximately 6% of white and 16% of black mothers were under 18 years old at the time of enrollment.
