What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the initial feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of Crisis Interventions for Pediatric Providers - Autism version (CIPP-A) for providers serving autistic youth in outpatient settings. The main question aims to answer:

* Assess whether CIPP-A is feasible and acceptable to providers in development behavioral pediatric clinics?

* Assess whether CIPP-A shows initial effectiveness in increasing providers confidence in managing suicide risk in autistic youth?

If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare CIPP-A to general safety planning intervention (SPI) on feasibility, acceptability, and initial effectiveness.

Participants will be randomized to receive training in SPI or CIPP-A and complete online surveys and interviews over 6-months to measure feasibility, acceptability, and initial effectiveness.
