Active clinical trials for "Suicide"

This cohort study is a large population-based study in the UK to determine the risks of comorbid mental health conditions (including depression, anxiety and other potential psychological complications of vitiligo) in adults with vitiligo compared to controls and to evaluate whether the relative risks may vary by different ethnicity.

This study is a large population-based analysis in the United Kingdom (UK) using routine primary care data to investigate the risk of mental health conditions in children, adolescents and young adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, compared to those without Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The study will also compare the impacts on quality-of-life outcomes and use of healthcare services between people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease with and without mental health conditions.

Background: - Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death for U.S. adults. Medically ill people are at an increased risk of suicide. Most people who have killed themselves went to a healthcare provider within 3 months of their death. More and more, hospitals are being asked to assess people for signs of suicide risk so that they can get the help they need. If nurses and doctors can find out who is at risk they can make sure these people get help in the hospital. The asQ em (Ask Suicide-Screening Questions to Everyone in Medical Settings) is a brief questionnaire. It was created to detect suicidal thoughts and behaviors in hospitalized people. Researchers would like to further develop this tool and figure out which are the best questions to ask patients. Objective: - To determine the best questions for healthcare providers to ask people with medical illnesses to see if they are having suicidal thoughts or planning to hurt themselves. Eligibility: - NIH Clinical Center patients over age 18. Design: Participants will be asked questions about how they have been feeling in the past few weeks. They will be asked questions about depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. They also will be asked some background questions. It will take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to answer the questions.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients who have a high risk for serious suicide behavior will demonstrate a speech pattern that has a relationship to language patterns found in suicide notes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a new standardized language for categorizing suicidal and self-injury related thoughts and behaviors can be readily adopted for use by mental health clinicians. Efforts also include developing a measure that can be used to help clinicians identify appropriate terms (e.g., behaviors) for specific patients.

The primary aim of this study is to examine the relationship between personal values and suicidal thoughts in a sample of U.S. Veterans.

This study intends to analyze the clinical characteristics of teenagers admitted to pediatric wards due to organic illness and non organic diagnosis, including patients suffering from chronic diseases and comorbidity.

Euthanasia and assisted dying are of growing interest for patients with incurable diseases. The possible methods are widely discussed by patient-societies, physicians, lawyers, theologians and philosophers. During the last years several opinion-polls were conducted with healthy people or medical stuff, but no surveys were conducted to get the attitude of incurable ill patients. The hypothesis of the investigators' study is: "Palliative Care Medicine is a better option for incurable ill patients than an assisted suicide."

According to a recent and alarming WHO (World Health Organisation) report (September 4, 2014), one person dies of suicide every 40 seconds in the world. Suicide is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , after accidents and homicide. This major public health issue need prevention strategies especially directed to at-risk populations. Since 2013, more than 2 billion users are enrolled in social networks such as Twitter or Facebook. Young adults (ages 18 to 29) are the most likely to use social media - fully 90% do. Consequently, in this project, we focus on suicide prevention in social media network.. The aim of this project is the validation of the algorithm. This algorithm build a decision support system that monitor young people at-risk based on large volume of heterogeneous data collected through social media to improve suicide prevention.

The main purpose of this cross-sectional study is to generate data to support the psychometric properties of the Suicide Ideation and Behavior Assessment Tool (SIBAT) and validate its use in participants at imminent risk of suicide.
