Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Parents occupy a central place in the emergency care of suicidal adolescents and young adults. However, from 15 to 25yo, three different administrative situations exist in France:

* \<16yo: admission to a child ED by a team trained to receive the youngest patients.
* 16-18yo: admission to an adult ED by team devoted to adult care, no exit without parents' authorization.
* \>18yo: admission to an adult ED by team.

Laying on qualitative observational protocol and a Delphi approach, this study will explore the perspective of adolescents and young adults following a suicidal attempt, the perspective of their parents, and the perspective of their healthcare professionals to build guidelines for parental involvement in care of suicidal youths.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-25 year olds, with the highest rate of hospitalization for SC of any age group. The psychopathology of suicidal behavior in adolescents and young adults (AYA) is homogeneous: risk factors, precipitating factors, representations. Parents occupy a central place in care. They are i) involved in the care decision; ii) actively involved in care; and ii) a source of motivation for trust and adherence to care.

However, if the psychopathology of suicidal crisis is homogeneous, the transition between pediatric and adult care implies very different management in the emergency department (ED). In France, three situations can be described:

* \<16yo: admission to a child ED by a team trained to receive the youngest patients.
* 16-18yo: admission to an adult ED by team devoted to adult care, no exit without parents' authorization.
* \>18yo: admission to an adult ED by team devoted to adult care, no right to contact the parents in case of patient opposition.
* Before 16 years of age: admission to the children's UAS, care by a team trained to receive the youngest patients.
* 16-18 years: admission to the adult UAS, care by adult professionals, clinical and legal particularities of care for minors.
* After 18 years old: admission to adult UAS, legal constraints of the adult care setting.

The objectives of this qualitative observational study is to build guidelines for the involvement of the parents in the care in these three situations.

The study will include adolescents and young adults from the three situations, their parents and the professionals who take care of them. Individual semi-structured interviews will be organized to collect their experiences. Qualitative analyses will be conduct, following Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. A pre-approved guideline will be construct and a Delphi approach will be conducted to approved the final version of the guideline.
