Study Summary

This trial is examining different ways to use technology to help identify people at risk for suicide after they leave the hospital.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescents recently in psychiatric care due to a suicide attempt or having suicidal thoughts within the last week. They must be able to provide consent through a legal guardian, own a cell phone, and not have severe cognitive impairments or require transfer to medical care.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests various tech-augmented strategies like portal follow-ups, safety planning with motivational interviewing (MI), booster calls, monitoring, and text messages. It aims to find an effective post-discharge plan that reduces suicide risk.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions focusing on communication and monitoring rather than drugs or medical procedures, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Secondary outcome measures
C-SSRS will be used to assess the of time-to-suicidal behavior within 6 months of discharge
Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire-Junior (SIQ-JR)

Group I: MI-SP +supportive Texts + monitoring (Sequence A)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Sequencing of intervention components (Phase 1 and Phase 2) resulting in Sequence or Group A: Participants will receive the in-person MI-enhanced safety plan (MI-SP) during hospitalization followed by 4 weeks of supportive Texts and monitoring post discharge.
Group II: MI-SP + supportive Texts + monitoring + portal follow-up for non-responders (Sequence B).Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Sequencing of intervention components (Phase 1 and Phase 2) resulting in Sequence or Group B: Participants will receive the in-person MI-enhanced safety plan (MI-SP) during hospitalization followed by 4 weeks of supportive Texts and monitoring post discharge in addition to the portal follow-up for non-responders.
Group III: MI-SP + supportive Texts + monitoring + booster call for non-responders (Sequence C)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Sequencing of intervention components (Phase 1 and Phase 2) resulting in Sequence or Group C: Participants will receive the in-person MI-enhanced safety plan (MI-SP) during hospitalization followed by 4 weeks of supportive Texts and monitoring post discharge in addition to the booster call for non-responders.

Who is eligible to participate in this trial?

"This clinical trial seeks to recruit 300 adolescent participants who have recently attempted suicide, or are exhibiting suicidal thoughts. Applicants must also match certain criteria; such as a recent suicide attempt in the last month, or evidence of past-week suicidal ideation (as indicated by C-SSRS scores). If these scores are not available on record, then physician's indication regarding presence of either within the last week will be accepted instead."
