About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to learn more about people who come to emergency departments in Spain after a suicide attempt and to find ways to prevent another attempt. The main questions are whether some personal, social, biological, and clinical factors are linked to a higher risk of trying again, and whether different follow-up strategies can help lower this risk over time.

Researchers will follow a total of about 3,600 people who attempted suicide: around 1,800 who were already recruited in a previous study and about 1,800 new participants who will be added in this project, in several hospitals across Spain.

Some participants may also be invited to give blood samples, answer online questionnaires, or use smartphone-based tools to understand better changes in mood and suicidal thoughts in daily life. A subset of participants may be invited to join separate clinical trials that test different follow-up programs to prevent another suicide attempt; these trials will be registered and described in their own study records.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Individuals (above 12 years old) who present to participating Spanish hospital emergency departments after a suicide attempt, as defined by self-injurious behavior with at least some intent to die.

Able to understand the study procedures and provide informed consent (or assent with parental/guardian consent for minors, according to local regulations)

Sufficient proficiency in Spanish to complete study assessments

Disqualifiers

Suicide attempts clearly judged as accidental or without suicidal intent

Severe cognitive impairment, intellectual disability, or neurological condition that, in the opinion of the clinical team, prevents valid assessment or informed consent

Acute medical instability that makes participation in research procedures unsafe.

Any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of investigators, would seriously interfere with participation or follow-up in the cohort.
