ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the experiences of adolescents who sought help during a time of increased suicidal thoughts, particularly during November 2021. Researchers want to understand what these young people went through, as well as how their families, teachers, and healthcare providers perceived their struggles. By talking to participants through interviews, the study aims to gather detailed insights into the reasons behind the rise in suicidal crises during this period, especially in the context of challenges related to COVID-19.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be between the ages of 13 and 17 years old and have visited a child psychiatric emergency room for suicidal thoughts during November 2021. They should also be able to understand and communicate in French and have consent from themselves and a parent or guardian to participate. Those who join the study can expect to share their experiences in a supportive environment where their voices will contribute to a better understanding of youth mental health during difficult times.
