Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of a digital intervention in reducing suicidal ideation in adolescents.

Description:

This double blind, randomized controlled trial will evaluate the preliminary efficacy of two digital interventions among 114 adolescent participants, and their parents/guardians, in reducing suicidal ideation in the adolescent participants. Adolescent participants, parent/guardian participants, and research assessors will be blinded to treatment assignment.
