Suicide prevention study halted after only 7 participants
NCT ID NCT05587530
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to create a program to help people at risk for suicide stay in mental health treatment. Researchers planned to interview patients and staff, then test a new approach using shared decision-making, phone outreach, and peer support. However, the study was terminated early and only enrolled 7 people, so no clear conclusions can be drawn.
