This trial is for Hispanic/Latino adults over 18 who primarily speak Spanish, are part of the UR health system, feel socially isolated or lonely, and have had suicidal thoughts recently.

What is being tested?

The study tests a program called SOCIAL-ENGAGE designed to increase cultural-social engagement and reduce suicide risk among Spanish-speaking adults at risk for suicide. It involves optimizing the intervention with a small group first, then testing its effectiveness in a larger pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT).See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since SOCIAL-ENGAGE is a behavioral intervention focusing on education and social activities rather than medication, it may not have typical 'side effects' but could include emotional discomfort or increased anxiety due to participation.
