Active clinical trials for "Suicidal Ideation"

The objective of this study is to build the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network to support the development of a Network Participant Registry and characterization of systems and interventions to examine statewide population health outcomes. All 12-13 sites represented in the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (https://www.utsystem.edu/pophealth/tcmhcc/) have been invited to participate in the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network as "Nodes." 12 Nodes have been selected for this project. Each Node has obtained support of senior institutional leadership including the department chair. Leadership from each Node provided input and edits in the study design process by committee, with a focus on the inclusion of the "end user" in design decisions. Nodes will work closely with the Network Hub leadership to recruit, monitor, and retain participants. This will require active engagement and sustained relationships with clinics within the academic medical center as well as clinics in the community (i.e., psychiatry, psychology, counselling).

As a result of a randomized controlled trial (NCT02985047) BA is continuously offered to persons with self-harm at risk for suicide in Skåne, Sweden. This qualitative inductive study aims to provide experiences among family members, carers and significant others of Brief Admission by self-referral for self-harming and suicidal persons based on individual semi-structured interviews. Participants will be identified through suggestion from persons with an active BA contract. Interviews, estimated to last 30-60 minutes, will be analyzed by a phenomenological hermeneutic method or by content analysis depending on richness and depth in the interviews. Findings from this study will be published.

This is a research study to find out if childhood trauma and stress are associated with depression or suicidal risk. The study will assess the effects of both short-term and long-term stress on biomarker (e.g. miRNA [MiRNA]) levels. miRNAs are a type of RNA (genetic material that is translated into protein) that are found in throughout the body and blood. They are called microRNA because their size is much smaller than typical RNA molecules. miRNAs are highly responsive to environment. This responsiveness is reflected in their expression in individuals who are affected by environment such as stress. The investigators are gathering genetic material, including DNA and RNA, from each participant. The RNA will be taken from the small vesicles and cells in the participant's blood and analyzed. The vesicles are small objects that occur normally in the blood and that contain RNA. This information may help us to understand the cause of mental illness and to improve medical and psychiatric care in the future. There will be 450 participants enrolled in this study.

To check the feasibility and acceptability of Culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CaCBTp) and Culturally Adapted Manual Assisted Brief Psychological Intervention for Self-harm (CMAP), which we have provisionally called (CMAP Plus) for individuals experiencing Suicidal Ideation (SI) in First Episode Psychosis (FEP).

The study aims to determine whether CMAP Plus TFBCT is feasible and acceptable for burn survivors with suicidal ideations. To identify any barriers to the recruitment of participants. To determine initial data for the primary outcome measure to perform a sample size calculation for a larger trial.

Suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, and suicide are increasingly common in adolescence. Current face-to-face prevention approaches are of limited effectiveness, rely on extensive resources, and are at odds with adolescents' digital preferences. We will evaluate two unconventional but promising interventions delivered to 13- to 17-year-olds: transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation to target emotion dysregulation, and a peer-support smartphone app to combat social isolation. If effective, these digitally-delivered interventions could reach far more adolescents at far lower cost than current approaches.

Determine the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of an adapted digitally delivered CMAP (CMAP-SI) intervention (CAMI) compared to treatment as usual (TAU) for patients presenting with suicidal ideation.

The goal of this study is to test an enhanced outreach intervention (EOI) delivered by Samaritans of Boston (a community organization that provides support during mental health crises) for people after they leave an emergency department (ED) visit for suicidal thoughts. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the EOI reduce suicide-related behaviors? Does the EOI increase outpatient treatment attendance? Is the EOI acceptable and feasible? Can the EOI be delivered with fidelity by Samaritans? Participants will be randomized to the EOI plus care as usual or care as usual alone. Participants in the EOI plus care as usual group will: Receive outreach (by call or text) at a planned time once per week for the next 12 weeks. During these conversations, Samaritans staff will ask participants questions about their suicidal thoughts and behaviors, develop and review a list of coping skills to use if they have suicidal thoughts, and discuss plans for receiving mental health care. Receive caring messages from Samaritans staff at least once per week. Receive standard care that hospitals give for patients who present with suicidal thoughts. Be asked to complete monthly self-report questionnaires. For care as usual alone, participants will: Receive standard care that hospitals give for patients who present with suicidal thoughts. Be asked to complete monthly self-report questionnaires.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased caregiving demands for caregivers of Veterans with dementia. Dementia caregivers are particularly at-risk for depression and anxiety, known risk factors for increased suicidality. Emerging research also suggests that dementia caregivers are experiencing greater suicidality during COVID-19 at a time when VHA is also devoting increased efforts toward caregiver health and support services. Aims are to determine the feasibility and acceptability of video-delivered Problem-Solving Therapy for reducing suicide risk in caregivers of Veterans with dementia.
