View clinical trials related to Suicidal Behaviors.
Filter by:The investigators will develop a brief video-based intervention for suicide prevention, called LifePlans. LifePlans will be tested in a pilot randomized controlled trial (n = 40) to examine its feasibility and acceptability. Investigators will recruit patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital for suicidal thoughts and behaviors who will receive the intervention for 4 weeks post-discharge. Patients will be assessed at hospital baseline, 1 month post-discharge, and 6 months post-discharge.
According to a recent and alarming WHO (World Health Organisation) report (September 4, 2014), one person dies of suicide every 40 seconds in the world. Suicide is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , after accidents and homicide. This major public health issue need prevention strategies especially directed to at-risk populations. Since 2013, more than 2 billion users are enrolled in social networks such as Twitter or Facebook. Young adults (ages 18 to 29) are the most likely to use social media - fully 90% do. Consequently, in this project, we focus on suicide prevention in social media network.. The aim of this project is the validation of the algorithm. This algorithm build a decision support system that monitor young people at-risk based on large volume of heterogeneous data collected through social media to improve suicide prevention.
Suicidal behaviors among adolescents represents a public health problem due to its high prevalence and its low predictability. It is also known that brain development continues during adolescence, therefore, a therapeutic intervention during this period might propitiate neural changes that might favor the emotional regulation involved in suicidal behaviors. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy has proved to be effective regarding this problem. For this reason, the investigators aimed to study the clinical, neuropsychological and neural effects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in adolescents with suicidal behaviors.
