The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $169,416 Project Grant to the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). This retrospective cohort study will identify individual, familial, community, and clinical characteristics that contribute to suicide risk among youth victims of human trafficking presenting to juvenile court systems. The research will generate evidence-based findings on suicide ideation and attempts in this understudied and highly vulnerable population, addressing critical gaps in suicide prevention research and informing the development of tailored intervention strategies for trafficking victims. The project employs a mixed-methods approach to examine mental health history, physical health conditions, health service utilization patterns, and other risk factors specific to youth trafficking victims. By studying this population within the juvenile justice system context, the research will provide actionable insights for healthcare providers and practitioners on recognizing and responding to suicide risk in trafficking-affected youth. The findings are intended to support the advancement of evidence-based suicide prevention approaches and improve health outcomes for a population with documented rates of lifetime suicide ideation exceeding 75 percent and past suicide attempt rates between 40-50 percent.
