Abstract
BackgroundSuicide is a major cause of preventable death globally and a leading cause of death by injury in Canada. To support people who experience suicidal thoughts and behaviors and ultimately prevent people from dying by suicide, it is important to understand the individual and familial experiences with the health care system.ObjectiveThis study aims to explore how suicide victims, and their family members, interacted with the health care system.MethodsWe will invite family members of 6 to 8 suicide victims to participate in the study by sharing their perspectives on both their relative’s as well as their own interactions with the health care system. Interviews will take place in-person and will be audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed thematically.ResultsThe results of the study are expected to be available in 12 months. We expect the results to shed light on the experiences of suicide victims and their family members with the health care system.ConclusionsOur study results may inform practice, policy, and further research. They may shape how members of the health care system respond to people who are at risk of suicide and their families.International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)PRR1-10.2196/13797
