STARK
The Suicidal Thoughts and Actions Research in Kids (STARK) project is examining what young children know about the concept of suicide, along with risk factors for experiencing suicidality early in life. We are seeking children who have and have not experienced suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The study consists of one 3 hour in-person assessment. Children play games, tell stories with a researcher, and complete an EEG, while parents complete an interview and fill out several other surveys. Families will receive $110 and children get a small prize!
