Filter by:Randomized controlled trial to determine the best brief suicide prevention intervention for adults and adolescents who screen positive for suicidal ideation or behavior in emergency departments or primary care clinics. Aim 1: Compare the effectiveness of two brief suicide prevention interventions (safety planning intervention plus structured phone-based follow-up from a suicide prevention hotline (SPI+), versus safety planning intervention plus caring contacts (CC)) to (a) reduce suicidal ideation and behavior, (b) reduce loneliness, (c) reduce return to care for suicidality, and (d) increase uptake of outpatient mental healthcare services over 12 months among adult and adolescent patients screening positive for suicide in emergency departments (EDs) and primary care clinics. Aim 2: Assess the acceptability of connection and support planning and the safety planning intervention, with or without follow-up among providers and clinical staff in EDs and primary care clinics. Aim 3: Assess the acceptability of SPI+ and SP+CC among adult and adolescent patients.
The goal of this project is to assess the feasibility of collecting physiological and psychological data that will allow for preliminary investigation of predictors of suicidal ideation in an ambulatory cancer population already seeking psychosocial support.
The long-term goal of this study is to reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors among treatment-seeking individuals who are experiencing suicidal thoughts or have recently made a suicide attempt. Brief cognitive behavioral therapies for suicide prevention (BCBT) has demonstrated empirical support for reducing suicide attempts as compared to treatment as usual. However, no studies to date have assessed their effectiveness when delivered via telehealth, highlighting an important knowledge gap in light of increased use of telehealth subsequent to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S. In light of this knowledge gap, the primary objective of this study will be to test the effectiveness of brief cognitive behavioral therapy (BCBT) as compared to present-centered therapy (PCT), an active comparator, for the reduction of suicide ideations and attempts when delivered via telehealth.
The prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI) among adolescents in North America is high, making it critical to develop evidence-based brief interventions for adolescents with SI that target healthy coping skills and relationships. BRAVA is a novel brief group intervention for adolescents with mild to moderate SI and their caregivers; youth are taught skills for coping and relating more effectively with others. Caregivers learn about adolescent development, effective parenting and the importance of connection. The goal of the randomized controlled trial is to assess the efficacy of a virtually-delivered, brief group intervention for adolescents with mild to moderate SI and their caregivers in reducing SI.
The overall objectives of the proposed research are to develop a brief telehealth counseling intervention to provide support for people living with HIV and experiencing suicidal ideation, and to support HIV care engagement. The investigators hypothesize that a brief telehealth counseling intervention will be safe (participants in the clinical trial will not have increased risk of suicidal behavior), acceptable (high patient retention and satisfaction, high fidelity), and will demonstrate preliminary efficacy (reduced suicidal ideation, improved care engagement, improved mental well-being).
The efficacy of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for reducing the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) across populations including military personnel and veterans is well supported. CPT also contributes to significant and rapid reductions in suicide ideation among people diagnosed with PTSD, although available evidence suggests this effect decays over time. Studies also show that approximately 1 in 6 people who begin CPT without suicide ideation will subsequently report suicidal thoughts at some point during or soon after completing treatment. Research focused on improving CPT's effects on suicide risk is therefore warranted. The primary aim of this study is to determine if the integration of a crisis response plan (CRP)--an empirically-supported procedure for reducing suicide ideation and attempts--can lead to faster reductions in suicide ideation among acutely suicidal veterans receiving CPT and prevent the development of suicide ideation among veterans who begin CPT without suicide ideation.
Rising US suicide rates and the increased risk of suicide among persons who visit an emergency department (ED) for suicidality make the ED an important site for interventions to prevent suicide. There is no approved treatment for rapid relief of suicidal thoughts although clinical trials, including ours, show relief of suicidal thoughts within hours of treatment with inexpensive, generic, sub-anesthetic ketamine. We propose a clinical trial of intramuscular ketamine in depressed ED patients with high-risk suicidality, which if successful would support a novel, easy-to-use, scalable intervention for busy emergency clinicians to implement.
The purpose of this study is to develop and then test an enhanced version of the parent study's collaborative care intervention for co-occurring disorders (CC-COD) to reduce the risk of suicide and overdose among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) in combination with PTSD/depression. The parent study is CLARO, Collaboration Leading to Addiction Treatment and Recovery from Other Stresses (NCT04559893).
The primary aim of the proposed research is to test the effect of a culturally centered treatment protocol, the Socio-cognitive behavioral therapy (SCBT), versus Treatment as Usual on suicidal thoughts and attempts, and depressive symptoms, in a clinical sample of Latinx adolescents. The study is trying to determine, if we take into account perspectives of Latin immigrant families and minority youth, whether better outcomes can be found for this high risk group.
This is a pilot study to analyze the benefit of accelerated continuous Transcranial magnetic stimulation for inpatient subjects suffering with suicidal ideation. This study will enroll 40 inpatient subjects recruited from the Resnick Neuropsychiatric hospital. Subjects will be blinded and randomized to active or sham TMS treatment and will receive up to 5 assigned treatments per day. Subjects will also be asked to complete mood surveys throughout their participation. Participation in this study will last 7-10 days depending on scheduling.
