How the risk of suicide and non-suicidal self-injury is assessed, monitored and managed in randomised controlled trials of interventions for youth depression: a scoping review
Overview
This scoping review analyzes 89 randomized controlled trials of interventions for youth depression to examine how researchers handle suicide and self-harm risk. It details the extent to which studies exclude high-risk participants, the methods used to monitor risk during the trial, and the protocols for managing identified risks. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the methodological standards and safety procedures of clinical trials involving young people.
