Clinical Trial Summary

The primary aim of the present study is leverage existing infrastructure to develop novel technological features for a novel personalized smartphone intervention system, called the Mobile Application to Prevent Suicide (MAPS), and to establish feasibility, acceptability, safety, and estimate key parameters for secondary outcomes (i.e., suicidal ideation and behavior; re-hospitalization).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Patient Satisfaction	Measured using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, a self-report measure of satisfaction with treatment. Scores range from 8 to 32, with higher scores representing higher satisfaction.	1 month
Primary	Acceptability of Research (Recruitment)	Measured by recruitment rate.	Baseline
Primary	Acceptability of Research (Dropout)	Measured by dropout rate.	1 month
Primary	Acceptability of Research Procedures	Feedback on qualitative interview.	1 month
Primary	Acceptability of MAPS Intervention	Feedback on qualitative interview.	1 month
Primary	Satisfaction with MAPS Intervention	Measured by protocol completion rate.	4 weeks
Primary	Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) Adherence	Number of assessments completed out of total.	4 weeks
Secondary	Suicidal Ideation and Behavior	Will be assessed using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, items from the Modified Scale for Suicidal Ideation, and ecological momentary assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior. The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale can provide presence/absence of suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior, as well as a suicidal ideation score ranging from 0 to 5 with higher scores representing more severe ideation, and a suicidal ideation intensity rating from 0-25 with higher scores representing more intense ideation.	1 month
Secondary	Rehospitalization	Number of inpatient rehospitalizations will be assessed using the Treatment History Interview and medical records review.	1 month
Secondary	Emergency Department Visits	Number of emergency department visits will be assessed using the Treatment History Interview and medical records review.	1 month
