Description
Brooke Streicher and co-authors survey child health providers on youth suicide prevention, in a 2026 study. Many young people face suicidal thoughts, and rural youth carry even higher risk. Pediatric providers are often the first contact for a young person in danger. The team compared beliefs, training, and daily practice between rural and non-rural providers.
About one hundred seventy Texas providers answered an online survey. Most said they had never had training in youth suicide risk checks or response. That gap held for both rural and town-based providers. Nearly all wanted more training, and many welcomed online sessions. Knowledge and skills also looked alike across the two groups. Training access, not location, is the clear problem.
