ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how parents and their teenage children understand and assess the teen's feelings of wanting to harm themselves, especially after a suicide attempt. The researchers want to find out if differences in how parents and teens view the situation can affect the teen's recovery over three months. They will gather information by asking both the teens and their parents to fill out questionnaires at the start of the study and again after three months.

To participate, adolescents aged 11 to 17 who have recently been treated in a hospital after a suicide attempt and are fluent in spoken French are eligible, as long as they have at least one parent willing to join the study. Parents must be 18 or older and also fluent in spoken French. Participants can expect to share their experiences and feelings about the situation, which will help researchers better understand how to support families during these challenging times.
