Focused Suicide Prevention Strategy for Youth Presenting to the Emergency Department With Suicide Related Behaviour

Suicide, Attempted | Suicidal Ideation | Behavioral Symptoms | Suicide and Self-harm | Suicide | Suicide...

Suicide is the leading cause of death due to illness among Canadian youth, claiming more lives than any medical illness, including cancer. Suicide prevention is possible, and early intervention is needed. The investigators will examine the effectiveness of a previously-piloted, ED-based suicide prevention intervention, across Canadian sites, using a randomized clinical trial design. The investigators will determine whether the patient- and family-centered intervention is more effective than enhanced usual care in reducing suicide-related behaviors in 330 youth at high-risk of suicide.
