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 and/or 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?, conditionsModule conditions: Suicide Prevention, conditions: Help-Seeking Behavior, conditions: Men, designModule studyType: OBSERVATIONAL, designInfo observationalModel: CASE_ONLY, timePerspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL, enrollmentInfo count: 586, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: STUDY 1: Help-seeking behavior, primaryOutcomes measure: STUDY 1: Experienced need, primaryOutcomes measure: STUDY 1: Emotional Openness, primaryOutcomes measure: STUDY 1: Barriers, primaryOutcomes measure: STUDY 1: Self-reliance, primaryOutcomes measure: STUDY 1: Stigma, primaryOutcomes measure: STUDY 1: needs of individuals with suicidal ideation, primaryOutcomes measure: STUDY 2: needs of healthcare providers, otherOutcomes measure: STUDY 1: Socio-demographic characteristics, otherOutcomes measure: STUDY 1: Suicidality, otherOutcomes measure: STUDY 2: socio-demographic variables, otherOutcomes measure: STUDY 2: Professional experience with men with suicidal thoughts, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Flemish Centre of Expertise in Suicide Prevention, Ghent University, status: RECRUITING, city: Ghent, zip: 9000, country: Belgium, contacts name: Eva De Jaegere, MSc, role: CONTACT, phone: +3293320775, email: eva.dejaegere@ugent.be, geoPoint lat: 51.05, lon: 3.71667, hasResults: False
