ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Suicidal Attacks in Children and Adolescents," aims to better understand the behaviors associated with suicide attempts among young people at Assiut University Children Hospital. The researchers want to identify the most common causes and risk factors that lead to these attempts, as well as the methods and circumstances involved. They also plan to estimate how often these incidents occur in children and adolescents at the hospital.

To participate in this study, children aged 5 to 18 years who have previously attempted suicide will be eligible. Unfortunately, the trial will not include adults or children who have tried to harm themselves using specific methods like gunshots or falls from heights. If you or someone you know is eligible, participants can expect to share their experiences and help researchers gather important information that could improve support for young people facing similar challenges. It's important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there will be more information available as it progresses.
