Filter by:The plan is to include patients with a history of increased risk of suicide. In the aftermath of an episode of imminent suicide risk, patients will receive a psychoeducational course that entails information on different aspects of suicide-related topics, identifying triggers and detecting early warning signals for increased suicide risk. The course culminates in working on completing a individual safety plan to prevent an future increase in suicide risk. The course will incorporate both patients and their next of kin. The psychoeducational course will be compared to a control group where the patients receive one individual session with focus on a safety plan to evaluate the intervention. Both groups will receive treatment as usual (TAU) during both the acute phase and follow-up. The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial.
This implementation research project aims to test the effectiveness and implementation outcomes of suicide safety planning along and a transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral intervention for suicide prevention on decreasing suicidal behaviors in secondary school students in Mozambique. This study will also result in hypothesized mechanisms of intervention effects, costs and cost-effectiveness.
The investigators are interested in learning more about how the role of mothers' emotions has on the transmission of suicide risk to children. Eligible participants will be invited to participate in a baseline assessment, and 4 follow-up assessments in the next year. This research study is a randomized control trial. Participants that choose to enroll are randomly assigned, that is by chance (like by flipping a coin) to receive DBT Skills Training or treatment as usual (TAU). Participants may also be selected for DBT skills training, it which would occur once a week for 6 months.
Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder, are difficult to treat. One reason is that there are no objective ways to measure how these disorders affect the body and respond to different treatments. In this study, researchers want to perform tests on people undergoing clinical care for mood disorders. The purpose is to understand the experience of receiving treatment for depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide risk. We also hope that this study will help us to predict which medications will improve thoughts of suicide. People 18 years or older who are receiving treatment for depression, bipolar disorder, or suicide risk may take part in this study. Participants must have also been enrolled in protocol 01-M-0254. This study will be conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD. The study typically lasts up to 12 weeks, but may last longer if a participant s treatment continues past that time. Participants will have weekly interviews and questionnaires while they are being treated for their mood disorder. Other tests are optional and include psychological testing, blood draws, sleep tests, and imaging scans. These will be done at the start and the end of research participation....
This project aims to adapt the parent component of Safe Alternatives for Teens and Youth (SAFETY) outpatient intervention to SAFETY-Parent (SAFETY-P), a self-paced interactive learning module for parents, to be implemented as an augmentation for youth being seen for suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, or recent suicide attempts across multiple settings at Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH, Columbus, Ohio).
The goal of this feasibility study is to develop a new metaverse-based blended online intervention using an online program and coaching via metaverse to prevent depression among Generation MZ Employees in South Korea. In addition, this study primarily explores reach and acceptability and secondarily evaluates the preliminary effectiveness of this preventive intervention on Korea's Gen MZ Employees.
This study aims to use a retrospective cohort approach to explore the impact of lithium carbonate on suicide and self-harm related events among adolescents and young adults with bipolar disorder in China.The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of lithium carbonate on suicidal ideation in adolescents and young adults with bipolar disorder in China. Secondary objectives include exploring its effects on preventing suicide attempts, non-suicidal self-injury, and aggressive behaviors in this population.
The current study aims to evaluate the impact of long (>5 days) and/or compulsory psychiatric inpatient care on subsequent healthcare utilization for self-harm and suicide in people with borderline personality disorder, a condition characterized by frequent self-harm. The basis for this study is the diversity of clinical practices across Swedish regions. By categorizing clinics based on their practices with respect to long and/or compulsory psychiatric inpatient care, it is possible to explore the impact of these practices on subsequent somatic and psychiatric healthcare, including emergency care due to self-harm as well as on completed suicides. All psychiatric clinics across Sweden authorized to administer compulsory care for adults, totalling 78 clinics will be included. Each clinic per specific calendar year will represent one participant, identified by the clinic's name and the respective year (e.g., Umeå2010, Linköping2013, Malmö2022). Data collection will involve the utilization of the national registers to capture outcome measures and account for confounding factors. The participants will be ranked based on a composite variable, which includes the average number of days spent in inpatient compulsory care and other psychiatric inpatient care exceeding 5 days, among individuals diagnosed with BPD. The top quartile of participants will be compared with the bottom quartile.
Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) is a standardized treatment model, providing patient-controlled and person-centered care. It was developed to reduce self-harm and compulsory care by promoting autonomy. Randomized clinical trials have not yielded significant between group differences with respect to inpatient care, including compulsory care. The major difficulty in evaluating BA is preventing the control group from cross-contamination, as in the implementation process of BA, all physicians, all inpatient and outpatient staff as well as managers need to be informed and undergo basic education regarding the intervention. As BA addresses a prevalent and frustrating issue in psychiatric health care, there is considerable risk that the approach leaks to the control group, reducing the possibility to detect between-group differences. In the current study this will be addressed through a register-based approach, comparing similar clinics, implementing BA at different timepoints over time. Individuals with traits of borderline personality disorder will be included and comparisons will be made with respect to compulsory care, voluntary inpatient care and mortality.
The central hypothesis is that biometric data can continuously monitor and allow for early identification/intervention of escalating suicidal symptoms. The rationale is that improved outpatient monitoring through wearable technology can create a more objective platform to provide the ability to identify a worsening condition and utilize patient-specific just-in-time therapeutics developed with mental health providers for suicidal adolescents.
