Filter by:Adolescents who have been hospitalized for suicidal behavior are at risk for engaging in additional suicidal behavior. After hospitalization, parents or guardians are typically asked to be responsible for helping to prevent further suicidal behavior. This can include monitoring the youth, making sure the home is safe, getting the youth any needed treatment, and balancing the parents' expectations of the youth with the understanding that the youth is in a vulnerable state. Even with this effort by parents, adolescents often have additional crisis situations. The goal of this study is to develop and test an integrated electronic and care support service intervention for these caregivers of suicidal youth. It is expected that this intervention will help parents/guardians in the roles of caring for suicidal youth after discharge from the hospital. This pilot randomized controlled trial will compare the intervention to enhanced treatment as usual.

The goal of this study is to develop and test an integrated electronic and care support service intervention for parents of suicidal youth. It is expected that this intervention will help parents/guardians in the roles of caring for suicidal youth after discharge from the hospital. This open trial will assess the feasibility of this intervention for a separate pilot randomized controlled trial to compare the intervention to enhanced treatment as usual.
