Study Summary

This trial will test which combination of three interventions (New Hope, Elders Resilience, and Case Management) is most effective at reducing suicidal ideation and increasing resilience in American Indian adolescents.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Native American youth aged 10-24 living near the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, who have had suicidal thoughts or behaviors, or substance use issues in the last 3 months. Participants under 18 need parental consent. Those with recent suicide attempts are also eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests sequences of three interventions: New Hope (NH), Elders Resilience (ER), and Case Management (CM) to see which combination best reduces suicidal thoughts and increases resilience in at-risk American Indian adolescents.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves psychological support programs rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort when discussing sensitive topics like suicide and substance abuse.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: New Hope (NH), Elders' Resiliency (ER), Case Management (CM)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
The investigators will employ a SMART design to evaluate the effectiveness of New Hope (NH), Elders' Resilience intervention (ER), Case Management (CM) and the combination of these approaches on reducing suicidal thoughts and promoting resilience among AI youth ages 10-24 who are confirmed by surveillance case managers to have recently experienced suicide ideation, attempt or a binge substance use and ideation. Youth who assent will complete the baseline (CM visit 1 and will be referred to mental health care). During the same visit, youth will be randomized 1:1 to either New Hope (NH) plus Case Management (CM), or CM alone, using a blocked randomized design, stratifying participants by age and event type. All youth will complete another study assessment after 30 days.After another 30-days, all participants will be re-assessed/re-randomized, using the same blocking and 1:1 ratio to either the ER intervention plus CM, or CM alone.
Group II: New Hope (NH)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
The investigators will employ a SMART design to evaluate the effectiveness of New Hope (NH), Elders' Resilience intervention (ER), Case Management (CM) and the combination of these approaches on reducing suicidal thoughts and promoting resilience among AI youth ages 10-24 who are confirmed by surveillance case managers to have recently experienced suicide ideation, attempt or a binge substance use and ideation. Youth who assent will complete the baseline (CM visit 1 and will be referred to mental health care). During the same visit, youth will be randomized 1:1 to either New Hope (NH) plus Case Management (CM), or CM alone, using a blocked randomized design, stratifying participants by age and event type.
Group III: Elders' Resiliency (ER)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
The investigators will employ a SMART design to evaluate the effectiveness of New Hope (NH), Elders' Resilience intervention (ER), Case Management (CM) and the combination of these approaches on reducing suicidal thoughts and promoting resilience among AI youth ages 10-24 who are confirmed by surveillance case managers to have recently experienced suicide ideation, attempt or a binge substance use and ideation. All youth will complete another study assessment after 30 days. The 30-day time frame will allow ample time to complete the NH intervention with participants and assess any changes in youth's mental health status for all study arms. Following another 30-day period, all participants will be re-assessed and re-randomized, using the same blocking and 1:1 ratio to either the Elders' Resilience (ER) intervention plus CM, or CM alone. To track long term outcomes, all youth will complete a final assessment 3 month later (6 months post-enrollment).
Group IV: Control ConditionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The control condition will only receive Case Management (CM) (n=76). The investigators will employ a SMART design to evaluate the effectiveness of New Hope (NH), Elders' Resilience intervention (ER), Case Management (CM) and the combination of these approaches on reducing suicidal thoughts and promoting resilience among AI youth ages 10-24 who are confirmed by surveillance case managers to have recently experienced suicide ideation, attempt or a binge substance use and ideation. Youth who assent will complete the baseline (CM visit 1 and will be referred to mental health care). During the same visit, youth will be randomized 1:1 to either New Hope (NH) plus Case Management (CM), or CM alone, using a blocked randomized design, stratifying participants by age and event type.
