About

With this study the investigators would like to gain insight into the experienced needs carers of individuals with suicidal thoughts, who attempted suicide or who died by suicide. By carers the investigators mean everyone who knows/knew someone close to them who is thinking about suicide, attempted suicide or died by suicide. By mapping out these needs, the investigators hope to better support carers and develop/improve initiatives and tools.

The investigators examine this by means of an online one-time questionnaire. In this questionnaire the investigators ask the participants questions about what it is like to be a carer and what are some of the experienced needs, as well as experiences with existing initiatives/tools.
