Filter by:The proposed study seeks to test the efficacy of an intervention to reduce suicide behaviors in Veterans. The Veterans Coping Long Term with Active Suicide Program (CLASP-VA) is an innovative, telephone-based intervention that combines elements of individual therapy, case management, and significant other/family therapy and is designed to be integrated into a VA system.
The purpose of this study is to test a psychotherapeutic intervention that integrates cognitive therapy and mindfulness meditation techniques to prevent suicide in military Veterans.
This study looks to implement a novel intervention (STAT-ED) for children who screen positive to suicide ideation. The intervention looks to collect data from several different measures and then randomize participants into one of two groups: a control group where the participant will be set up with a mental health referral from a psychiatric social worker; or if randomized into the STAT-ED intervention, the adolescent and parent will receive a brief motivational interview, barrier reduction discussion, referral and limited case management by the study social worker to enhance outpatient mental health follow up after discharge from the ED. The hypothesis of the study is patients who are randomized into the STAT-ED intervention group will have a significantly higher rate of initiating mental health treatment and will attend more mental health treatment sessions in the two months after the ED visit compared with adolescents in the control group. Secondary aims of this study look to determine whether the effectiveness of the STAT-ED intervention differs by age, gender, or ethnicity; and evaluate predictors and mediators of mental health treatment engagement.
The goal of this research plan is to test the effectiveness of a brief, cognitive behavioral (CB) intervention to promote behavioral health treatment engagement among at-risk Veterans who call the Crisis Line but are resistant to behavioral health services.
The purpose of this project is to gather pilot data related to exploring relationships between cognitive impairment and/or psychiatric distress and suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors in Veterans with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). To achieve this goal, a neuropsychological battery will be administered to Veterans with HIV/AIDS.
This study is to develop an adjunctive intervention for acutely suicidal adolescents who have been admitted to a psychiatric inpatient unit. The study intervention is comprised of: 1) two to three individual sessions delivered in an inpatient setting or immediately upon discharge; 2) one family session; 3) six months of follow-up phone interventions. The investigators hypothesize that those who receive the study intervention will have lower rates of suicide events and greater decreases in suicidal ideation after six months.
This study will identify the effectiveness of an intensive treatment program for teens who are at high risk for harming themselves.
The purpose of this project is to provide further evidence regarding a groundbreaking psychological treatment for suicide prevention in individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), Window to Hope (WtoH). The study will be one of the first five randomized clinical trials (RCTs) internationally to evaluate a psychological treatment for affective distress after TBI and the first conducted in the United States (U.S.) to specifically address suicide risk as an outcome. The current project aims to adapt WtoH for U.S. military personnel/Veterans (expert Consensus Conference, participant total up to 15), implement the intervention in a Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) (Pilot Groups 1-4, participant total up to 12), and replicate the results from the original trial in this novel context with a larger sample size (n=70 completed protocols [up to 90 recruited]. Deliverables are expected to include an intervention suitable for both dissemination and larger Phase III trials.
After traumatic injuries some people have difficulty returning to the routine of their everyday activities and may experience physical and emotional pain. The purpose of this study is to identify new ways of providing support for physically injured trauma survivors. All study procedures are designed to work around patient needs and be as flexible as possible in order to best fit into patients' post-injury recovery. Patients who are eligible for the study are randomly assigned to receive care as usual, or the "new method of treatment," with the study Trauma Support Specialist (TSS). This TSS will be in contact with the patient for the next three months; they may visit the patient at the hospital or at outpatient medical appointments. The TSS will also be available to talk with the patient over the telephone. Overall, the TSS will be working with the patient to help with difficulties returning to his or her routine and overcoming physical and emotional pain experienced after the injury. We believe that patients who receive the "new method of treatment," will be more able to return to daily routines and/or cope with the emotional stress that can occur after an injury. Intervention technology innovations including mHealth applications and web-based links will be included in the investigation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients who have a high risk for serious suicide behavior will demonstrate a speech pattern that has a relationship to language patterns found in suicide notes.
