An Adaptive Intervention for Adolescents at Risk for Suicide: A Pilot SMART

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Suicide, Self Harm

In brief

To inform the development of a technology-augmented adaptive intervention for adolescents at risk for suicide, the goal of this study is to conduct a Sequential, Multiple Assignment, Randomized Trial (SMART) pilot of a Motivational Interview (MI)-enhanced safety planning intervention (MI-SafeCope). Findings from this study will provide the groundwork for the construction of a technology-augmented adaptive intervention that could lead to a reduction in suicidal behaviors and related events during the high-risk post-discharge period-an important suicide prevention target.
