Filter by:The purpose of this study is to develop, refine, and pilot test an augmenting cognitive behavior relapse prevention intervention (CBT-RP) for suicidal, depressed, and alcohol/substance abusing adolescents. No hypotheses are being tested, but it is expected that CBT-RP in addition to treatment as usual will result in improved outcomes relative to treatment as usual alone.
This project evaluates a brief intervention in the emergency department (ED) for adolescents presenting with suicide attempts. The intervention aims to capitalize on the opportunity offered by the ED visit to deliver an effective intervention, improve adherence to follow-up care, decrease the risk of repeat suicide attempts, and improve clinical and functioning outcomes.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a primary care intervention on reducing suicidal ideation and depression in older patients.
This study will examine the effectiveness of combining cognitive therapy with enriched usual care for preventing subsequent suicide attempts in people with a drug dependence who have recently attempted suicide.
This study will assess the effectiveness of cognitive therapy in reducing the incidence of suicide ideation and behavior in older men in a primary care setting.
This study will determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in preventing future suicide attempts in repeat suicide attempters.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of three types of treatments for depressed teenagers who have attempted suicide.
This study will attempt to improve treatment adherence and reduce suicide risk among adolescents who are at risk for attempting suicide.
The purpose of this project is to pilot a new scale, The Desperation Scale, in a sample of young adolescents (aged 10-16) seen in the pediatric emergency room who require a psychiatric consultation. The proposed study is designed to assess the psychometric properties of this new scale and to provide information about the cognitive state of young suicidal individuals. It is hypothesized that this scale will be able to discriminate between those who are suicidal and those who are not. Data obtained in this pilot study will provide information about the usefulness of the construct of desperation and will guide future projects aimed at the assessment and treatment of suicidal individuals. The use of cognitive factors to predict suicidal behavior is appealing because they allow the clinician to tap into an individual's perception of his/her life circumstances. However, we believe the popular conceptualization of suicide as a result of "hopeless" thinking ignores an important aspect of suicidal behavior-the motivation to escape. We propose that a model of suicidal behavior that includes escape motivation, which we call the desperation model, will be better able to predict suicide than existing measures. We conceptualize desperation as consisting of three core elements: a sense of entrapment, feelings of anxiety/agitation, and a sense of time urgency. The current pilot study will test a 35-item scale that assesses these three elements of desperation. A pilot study of the Desperation Scale is currently being conducted at the Cornell University Medical Center (P.I. P.M. Marzuk) with depressed, adult inpatients. Our study is original in its use of the scale with an adolescent population and its focus on patients in the emergency room, when they are presumably in a "purer" suicidal state. It is hypothesized that those who are admitted to the emergency room for recent suicidal behavior will endorse feelings of entrapment, anxiety, and time urgency.
