Testing ways to assess suicide risk using speech and writing
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how well different questions and tasks (spoken and written) can measure suicide risk in adults who come to the emergency department for mental health reasons. It may help improve how quickly and accurately people at risk are identified.
