About this study

This study is prospectively enrolling a cohort of adolescent patients who present to the Emergency Department with acute suicidality or are admitted to an inpatient psychiatric adolescent unit. The plan is to monitor basic physiologic parameters to assess for trends associated with suicidality noninvasively in an objective manner beyond subjective questionnaires currently available. Upon discharge they will be sent home with a noninvasive monitor to track physiologic parameters.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
