Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to test a brief (6-session), empirically supported, and highly disseminable version of digital (i.e., smartphone or web-based) cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I), called SleepioTM, in suicidal adolescents with co-occurring insomnia during the high-risk post-hospitalization period. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among adolescents. Sleep problems, such as insomnia symptoms-the most common sleep problem in youth-may be a particularly promising treatment target to reduce suicide risk in adolescents. The investigators propose to test the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of dCBT-I in a two-site (Rutgers and Old Dominion University) pilot study trial. Adolescents, 14-18 years-old, recently hospitalized for suicide risk with co-occurring insomnia (n=20 pilot, 50% at each site), will receive dCBT-I (six weekly, 20-minute sessions) plus post-hospitalization treatment-as-usual (TAU). Adolescents will complete assessments pre-treatment, during the treatment phase including at the end of treatment, and 1-month follow-up post-treatment.
This study will test the effectiveness of a sleep-related primary suicide prevention program entitled TAILOR (Targeting Adolescent Insomnia to Lessen Overall Risk of Suicidal Behavior), which includes specific behavior-change strategies for adolescents at risk of suicidal behavior who suffer from difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, and/or insufficient sleep.
This study is looking at therapeutic potential of reducing Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels in regular cannabis smokers using contingency management (CM) intervention in a U.S. veteran population with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Two interventions will be delivered virtually to American Indian/Alaska Native youth who have been hospitalized with suicidal attempt, suicidal ideation, or associated risk behaviors, including alcohol-related injury.
Globally, suicide is ranked as the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10-24 years, and more than 75% of all deaths by suicide occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). However, the vast majority of adolescents in LMIC do not have access to mental health care, and contextually appropriate strategies for delivering evidence-based interventions for managing suicide risk are needed to expand services to these areas. In the present study, the investigators will adapt and pilot test the Suicide Safety Planning Intervention for Adolescents (SPI-A) delivered by primary care providers in Mozambique, an LMIC in southeastern Africa.
Investigators will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of modified Cognitive Behavioral Suicide Prevention for psychosis (CBSPp) in comparison to services-as-usual (SAU) in a randomized controlled trial. Investigators will recruit adult clients receiving services at a community mental health (CMH) setting who have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder and recent suicidal thoughts or behaviors within 3 months of screening (n=60). Client participants will be screened, enrolled and randomized to the CBSPp or SAU group. A 4-wave design will include quantitative assessments at baseline (T1), 1-month after baseline (T2), 3-months after baseline (T3), and 5-months after baseline (T4) with in-depth qualitative interviews at T3 for a random sample of adults in the CBSPp group (n=10). Providers (n=12) will be trained to deliver CBSPp and be assessed from T1-T3 to evaluate the implementation process, including in-depth qualitative interviews at T3.
The purpose of this pilot study is to refine and then assess the feasibility, acceptability, and target engagement of Acute Youth Connect - a network health intervention for adolescents leaving acute psychiatric care with suicide-related concerns.
The team aims to develop and test the efficacy of a serious mental illness (SMI) and suicide ideation and attempt (SIA) stigma reduction intervention for medical students. The team expects that after intervention exposure, relative to control group, participants in the experimental condition will manifest more favorable change in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.
The purpose of this study is to advance a non-pharmacologic suicide preventive intervention with wide dissemination potential as an innovative high-yield solution to reduce suicide rates. The investigators aim to achieve this with this study of Brain Emotion Circuitry Self-Monitoring and Regulation Therapy for Daily Rhythms (BE-SMART-DR), that provides self-directed strategies to regularize sleep and other DRs to reduce short-term suicide risk that can be used lifelong to potentially also reduce long-term suicide risk.
Suicide kills 132 Americans every day. The first step of suicide prevention is risk identification and prognostication. Researchers like this study team have developed and validated predictive models that use routinely collected Electronic Health Record (EHR) data like past diagnoses and medications to predict future suicide attempt risk. The study team's model based in machine learning is known as the Vanderbilt Suicide Attempt and Ideation Likelihood (VSAIL). VSAIL has been validated prospectively and externally to predict suicide attempt risk with a number needed to screen (NNS) of 271 for suicide attempt and 23 for suicidal ideation. NNS is the number of people who need to receive a test result to prevent one outcome - lower NNS is better. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a Clinical Decision Support System called Vanderbilt Safecourse using VSAIL to prompt a novel Best Practice Advisory (BPA) to prompt face-to-face screening with a validated suicide screening instrument like the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS).
