Experimental Treatment
Group I: Mobile Application to Prevent Suicide (MAPS)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants receiving MAPS will receive the Safety Planning Intervention (SPI) which will be uploaded into the smartphone app. They will be prompted four times per day to complete a brief ecological momentary assessment "check-in" inquiring about their cognitions, affect, and behavior, including suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Based on these responses, they will be provided with coping strategies from their safety plans and from a database of coping strategies created by study staff. They will also have access to emergency phone numbers, the coping strategies database, and can communicate with their study clinician through a text-like interface in the app. They will receive this intervention for one month.
