Brief Summary

Parents occupy a central place in the emergency care of suicidal adolescents and young adults. However, from 15 to 25yo, three different administrative situations exist in France:

• \<16yo: admission to a child ED by a team trained to receive the youngest patients.
• 16-18yo: admission to an adult ED by team devoted to adult care, no exit without parents' authorization.
• \>18yo: admission to an adult ED by team. Laying on qualitative observational protocol and a Delphi approach, this study will explore the perspective of adolescents and young adults following a suicidal attempt, the perspective of their parents, and the perspective of their healthcare professionals to build guidelines for parental involvement in care of suicidal youths.
