Brief Summary: The aim of the current project is twofold namely

1 To gain insight into needs related to help-seeking among men with previous suicidal thoughts STUDY 1 More specifically this study examines help-seeking behaviour possible barriers to seeking help and needs with regard to existing tools and health care among men who had suicidal thoughts In other words is there a difference in help-seeking behaviour between men and women with suicidal thoughts in the past and what factors contribute to this difference More specifically

1 To what extent do men with suicidal thoughts in the past recognize their need for help compared to women with suicidal thoughts in the past
2 What barriers and needs do men with suicidal thoughts in the past experience towards seeking help compared to women with suicidal thoughts in the past
3 What barriers and needs do men with suicidal thoughts in the past experience to remain engaged in help compared to women with suicidal thoughts in the past
2 To map out needs of healthcare providers in working with men with suicidal thoughts andor behaviour STUDY 2 More specifically how do healthcare providers experience working with men who are feeling suicidal and what are their experienced barriers and needs Two main research questions were formulated

1 How do health care providers experience working with men in comparison to women or people of other genders who are feeling suicidal
2 What needs and barriers do health care providers experience when working with men in comparison to women or people of other genders who are feeling suicidal
Detailed Description: Approximately three out of four people who die by suicide are men Suicide is a complex phenomenon which cannot be explained by a single factor but rather is a result of a variety of neurobiological psychological and social risk factors Considering the difference in suicide risk between men and women researchers have tried to identify risk factors specific to men which might contribute to the increased suicide risk Differences in help-seeking behaviour and received help have repeatedly been put forward as being one of these factors as men are less likely to seek help and have a higher drop-out rate once having started interventions That is why in our new project we want to investigate what barriers and needs men experience with regard to existing healthcare and how healthcare can meet these needs

This will be done in two studies among 1 people with suicidal thoughts in the past 3 years and 2 healthcare providers

STUDY 1 A needs assessment among men with a history of suicidal thoughts consisting of

One online needs assessment questionnaire 15-20 min for men women and individuals with other gender identities 18yo who have experienced suicidal thoughts in the past three years The questionnaire assesses help-seeking behaviour and factors that may be associated with it ie barriers to help perceived stigma emotional openness self-reliance perceived need for help needs regarding healthcare This questionnaire will be administered to men as well as to womenpeople with a different gender identity in order to compare the different gender groups
Six online focus groups with men women and individuals with other gender identities separately 18yo who have experienced suicidal thoughts in the past three years
STUDY 2 A needs assessment among healthcare providers consisting of

One online needs assessment questionnaire 10-15 min for health care providers ie general practitioners GPs psychiatrists medical doctors psychologists psychotherapists and nurses working in healthcare 18yo who have previously encountered men with suicidal thoughts andor behaviour professionally The questionnaire is used to identify their needs regarding working with men with suicidal thoughts
Two online focus groups with health care provides GPs psychiatrists medical doctors psychologists psychotherapists and nurses working in healthcare 18yo who have previously encountered men with suicidal thoughts andor behaviour professionally to further discuss these needs
