Pandemic prompts scientists at Cincinnati Children's to focus on suicide prevention research efforts
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted scientists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center to pivot their suicide prevention research efforts with a focus on telehealth. They received a five-year research award totaling almost $8 million from Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to explore treatment options for adolescents with suicidal thoughts. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among adolescents in the United States. The pandemic has shifted much of medicine to telehealth, including psychiatric services.
"The timeliness of this research is based on the need for telehealth due to the pandemic; the mental health crisis in the adolescent population; and the dependence on technology," says Drew Barzman, MD, Director of the Child and Adolescent Forensic Research Program at Cincinnati Children's. Barzman is the principal investigator of the project.
