What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the relationship between eco-anxiety and the severity of suicide risk among adolescents aged 12 to 16 years old. By utilizing the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), the study will assess various dimensions of suicidal ideation and behavior in this population. The research is conducted at the Hôpital Femme Mère Enfant in Bron, Rhone, focusing on hospitalized adolescents in the child and adolescent psychopathology department. The findings could provide valuable insights into how environmental concerns impact mental health in young people.

Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and interventions for reducing suicide risk among adolescents experiencing eco-anxiety.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific relationship between eco-anxiety and suicide risk in adolescents is less explored, studies on mental health impacts of environmental concerns have shown promising results.
