Telephone-based management
iFightDepression for Suicide
Treatment as Usual
Self Awareness of Mental Health
Telephone-based management will consist of a three-phase intervention: 1) An initial 15-20 min call at 1 week of enrollment in which the cases manager introduces him/herself, and does a short assessment of the current suicide risk, 2) A 5-10 min telephone follow-up at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, 3) If suicide risk is detected, a 15-45 min crisis intervention call will be done, tailored to the participant's characteristics and context. If deemed necessary, an emergency face-to-face appointment will be scheduled. At each phone call information regarding the current treatment, adherence to mental health services, and current life stressors will be collected.
The iFightDepression-Survive (iFD-S) program is a cognitive-behavioral, internet-based self-management tool, developed by the European Alliance Against Depression (EAAD). The iFD is intended to address mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms. The iFD tool is structured in seven core modules focused on: behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, sleep regulation, mood monitoring, and healthy lifestyle habits. The content of each module is intended to be followed over 1 week and consists of written information, tasks to do over the week and worksheets. All of these aims to consolidate learning and promote self-monitoring. For this study, an additional module (iFD-S) will be developed. To that end, the expertise of a panel of mental health experts in suicide and cognitive-behavioral interventions will be asked. The iFD-S also provides telephone guidance (2h per participant) during the use of the program.
Treatment as Usual (TaU) will vary across sites, however it generally implies a combination of case management strategies (including telephone calls, visits by mental health services) and pharmacotherapy. For this study, any nonspecific intervention to address suicidal behavior or to prevent suicide will be considered as treatment as usual. TaU will consist of any routine procedures applied at each participating site.
The Self Awareness of Mental Health (SAM) is an adaptation of the Youth Awareness of Mental Health program, originally developed for the Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe (SEYLE) study. The SAM aims to raise mental health awareness about risk and protective factors associated with suicide, provide knowledge about depression and anxiety, and enhance the skills needed to cope with adverse life events and suicidal behavior. The intervention is delivered by trained clinical psychologists in five, 45-60 minutes, face-to-face sessions.
