Keyword: Suicide

Abstract: This study investigates residential treatment for adolescents following psychiatric hospitalization. Surveys and interviews over a six-month period will assess for suicide risk, perceived treatment outcomes, and changes in diagnostic severity and coping skills. I hypothesize that residential treatment will lower suicide severity and rehospitalization rates, compared to outpatient therapy.
