ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is focused on understanding the needs of people who care for someone with suicidal thoughts, who has attempted suicide, or who has died by suicide. The researchers want to learn from these caregivers—anyone who knows someone struggling with these issues—so they can provide better support and develop helpful tools and programs. To gather information, they are asking participants to complete a one-time online questionnaire, where they will answer questions about their experiences and what kind of support they feel is needed.
To be eligible for this study, participants should be at least 16 years old, have a close connection to someone who has experienced suicidal thoughts or actions in the last three years, have internet access, and be able to understand Dutch well enough to complete the questionnaire. This study is currently recruiting participants, and anyone interested can contribute to improving support for caregivers in similar situations.
