About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Suicide
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Admission to CSC with suicidal crisis, as defined by active suicide ideation ascertained by the Columbia Suicide-Severity Rating scale, which the sites already routinely administer. Ability and willingness to provide information for and permission to contact two persons in case of emergency or inability to reach the participant for follow-up Exclusion Criteria: Under age 18. Inability to communicate with the researcher in English. Acute psychiatric instability (e.g., psychotic symptoms). Most patients with psychosis are transferred to Emergency Departments instead of CSCs, so we do not expect many exclusions based on this criterion.
