abstract="PROBLEM: Little is known of the needs of parents after their child has made a suicide attempt. The goal of this research was to create and pilot an acceptable and effective survey for parents whose child has made a suicide attempt so that their needs and concerns are known. <br><br>METHOD: The Social-Ecological Model was used as a framework to better understand the problem of adolescent suicide from the parent perspective. Collaboration with interdisciplinary staff at a rural mental health facility in the United States occurred to create and pilot the survey tool with content and practice experts validating the survey questions. <br><br>FINDINGS: Five parents completed the pilot survey. <br><br>RESULTS showed that parents have unmet needs after their child's suicide attempt; reporting the need to ensure safety for their child and the need for understanding how to help their child. Parents stated interest in attending a focus group to discuss their needs and noted transportation and childcare being primary barriers to attending a focus group. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Results from this research will inform the planning focus groups of parents whose child has made suicide attempt.<br><br>© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
