Development of a Mobile Heath Augmented Brief Suicide Prevention Intervention for People With SMI
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Suicide and Self-harm
In brief
Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are associated with high risk for suicide, yet there are few brief interventions that directly target suicide prevention in this large population. The goal of this intervention development study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a brief intervention called SafeTy and Recovery Therapy (START) that is augmented with content delivered on mobile devices outside of the clinic setting. The intervention will evaluated in a community urgent care center context as people initiate outpatient care, and, if effective, could be deployed in a wide network of such centers.
