Study Summary

This trial will test if a calculator can identify which service members with suicidal ideation or behavior are likely to respond well to standard care versus Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) as a first-line treatment.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for active duty service members over 18 years old who are currently receiving mental health treatment and have had suicidal thoughts within the last month. Participants must understand English and be able to consent.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to develop a calculator predicting responses to standard care for reducing suicidal ideation, comparing it with Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) in those predicted not to respond well.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves psychological therapy rather than medication, side effects may include emotional discomfort or distress during therapy sessions but typically do not involve physical side effects.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

BCBT consists of 12 outpatient individual psychotherapy sessions scheduled weekly or biweekly. The first session is 90 minutes and subsequent sessions are 60 minutes. BCBT is divided into three phases. In phase 1 (5 sessions), the therapist conducts a detailed assessment of the patient's most recent suicidal episode or suicide attempt, identifies patient-specific factors that contribute to and maintain suicidal behaviors, provides a cognitive-behavioral conceptualization, collaboratively develops a crisis response plan, and teaches basic emotion regulation skills. In phase 2 (5 sessions), the therapist teaches cognitive restructuring skills to build cognitive flexibility. In phase 3 (2 sessions), a relapse prevention task is conducted, and participants must demonstrate the ability to successfully complete this task in order to terminate the treatment. Additional sessions are conducted until participants demonstrate the ability to successfully complete this task.

Group II: Treatment as Usual (TAU)Active Control1 Intervention

TAU may include (1) routine suicide risk screening and assessment; (2) safety planning with means restriction; and (3) the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), an evidence-based approach to managing and treating suicidal patients.
