Brief Intervention for Suicide Risk Reduction in High Risk Adolescents
Adolescent BehaviorAdolescent suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in this age group. There are no validated treatments to decrease the risk of adolescent suicidal behavior, and there are especially no interventions to target the highest risk period for adolescent suicide and suicidal behavior, namely during the time of transition from inpatient to outpatient care. This purpose of this project was to develop a novel, brief intervention that can be delivered on an inpatient unit prior to the transition to outpatient care, and augment known factors to protect adolescents from suicidal behavior, and extend the impact of treatment by liaison with the outpatient therapist and the development of a personalized safety plan phone application. This treatment, ASAP, focuses on augmenting adherence to the components of ASAP and outpatient aftercare, development of a personalized Safety Plan, and Affect Protection, through helping the teen and family promote a positive mood, tolerate distress, engage in healthy emotion regulation and access social support.
CAMS-G Group Therapy for Suicidal Veterans
Suicide and Self-harmThe primary aim of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of CAMS-G. Our aim is to determine if CAMS-G is an effective treatment and whether it has the potential to be tested in a large-scale setting.
Evaluation of a Psychoeducational Intervention for People With Suicidal Behaviour in the Penitentiary...
SuicideObjective. The main objective is to determine the effectiveness of a psychoeducational program conducted by rehabilitation professionals to reduce the number of suicidal behaviors in prisons. Methodology. The design of the study will be a multicenter, randomized, two-group clinical trial with blind evaluation of response variables, one year follow-up. The study population will be a male and female prison population of a total of two Catalan prisons. As a dependent or outcome variable, the total number of suicidal behaviors recorded for 12 months after the intervention will be determined. As independent variables, socio-demographic, clinical and prison situation variables will be collected. The suicidal ideation will be measured with the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). The anxiety and depression with Hamilton scale for assessing anxiety (HDRS) and the Hamilton scale for assessing severity of depressive symptoms (HAM-D). The EuroQoL-5D Health Questionnaire (EQ-5D) to measure quality of life. And a satisfaction survey of psychoeducational group intervention. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be divided into two groups, an intervention group that will conduct group sessions with a frequency of two per week and duration of 90 minutes for a total of 13 sessions, and a control group that will receive information on suicide counseling. Discussion. Mortality from suicide is higher in the prison population than in the general population. This project aims to evaluate the effect of a psychoeducational intervention on reducing the number of suicidal behaviors in prison, in order to evaluate their implementation at the level of the entire prison network.
Home-Based Mental Health Evaluation (HOME)
Suicide and Self-harmThe purpose of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of the Home-Based Mental Health Evaluation (HOME) program, which is an innovative and culturally-relevant suicide prevention intervention for Veterans aimed at increasing treatment engagement and decreasing suicide risk following psychiatric hospitalization, a period of heightened suicide risk.
An Adaptive Intervention for Adolescents at Risk for Suicide: A Pilot SMART
SuicideSelf HarmTo inform the development of a technology-augmented adaptive intervention for adolescents at risk for suicide, the goal of this study is to conduct a Sequential, Multiple Assignment, Randomized Trial (SMART) pilot of a Motivational Interview (MI)-enhanced safety planning intervention (MI-SafeCope). Findings from this study will provide the groundwork for the construction of a technology-augmented adaptive intervention that could lead to a reduction in suicidal behaviors and related events during the high-risk post-discharge period-an important suicide prevention target.
Teachable Moment Brief Intervention for Veterans Following a Suicide Attempt
SuicideAttemptedThe overall objective is to determine the acceptability and feasibility of the Teachable Moment Brief Intervention (TMBI) + follow-up consultation for Veterans treated on an inpatient psychiatry unit following a suicide attempt. The study will also determine whether there is a signal of effectiveness supporting the TMBI in improving the recovery trajectory of Veterans following discharge to the community.
Cognitive Behavioral Suicide Prevention for Psychosis: Aim 1
SuicidePsychosisThe investigators are modifying and testing the preliminary effectiveness and implementation of a Cognitive Behavioral Suicide Prevention for psychosis (CBSPp) intervention. In this phase of the study, CBSPp will be tested in an initial open trial (n = 10) to examine its feasibility and acceptability. Investigators will recruit clients receiving services at a community mental health setting who have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder and recent suicidal thoughts and behaviors to receive the behavioral intervention for 10-weeks. Providers will be recruited and trained to deliver the intervention. Both clients and providers will be assessed at baseline to test our approach to measurement prior to the Aim 2 RCT (registered separately). Clients will be assessed at three additional timepoints (middle of treatment, end of treatment, and 2 months after treatment ends.
Assessing the Effectiveness of Self- and Clinician-administered Crisis Response Planning for Suicide...
SuicideAttempted1 moreThe aim of the current project is to compare the use and preliminary effectiveness of a self-administered version of the Crisis Response Plan (CRP) in decreasing suicidal/death ideation and distress and increasing positive affect when compared to a clinician-administered version of the protocol in a sample of 150 military Veterans experiencing current death or suicidal ideation.
Cognitive Anxiety Sensitivity Treatment for Suicide
