Efficacy, Effectiveness, and Implementation of Jaspr Health in Emergency Department- Part B

This study will evaluate Jaspr's patient-facing tablet-based application (app) during suicide-related ED visits. The app guides patients in completing the Suicide Status Interview, which comprises of evidence-based CAMS certified suicide prevention tools such as a suicide risk assessment, Stanley Brown- inspired safety plan, and lethal means safety counseling. It also offers access to a menu of "Comfort and Skills" modules that teaches patients behavioral skills to effectively manage imminent distress, while shared stories offer a library of professionally produced, racially and culturally diverse, inspirational videos of people with suicide-centered lived experience. Subjects who engage with Jaspr can continue to access their safety plan, comfort and coping skills exercises, and the video library via Jaspr at Home (JAH) mobile application; a summary of the self-administered risk assessment is shared with the clinical team directly through the patient electronic health record to help guide the treatment plan. Part A of the study will be a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of action of Jaspr's app intervention in EDs. It is reported in a separate CTG protocol (Unique Protocol ID: STUDY00000716 Part A) This CTG protocol describes Part B of the study, which will be a Real-World Study (RWS) to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation processes in EDs and outcomes. Two health systems affiliated with Ohio State University and the University of Colorado will implement Jaspr as part of routine clinical care. Each health system will implement Jaspr in two diverse EDs: one major academic site, and one community site. Each system will collect data on eligible patients across two Phases: (1) a retrospective enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) phase comprising 12 months of index ED visits with a 12 month follow-up window, and (2) an Implementation/Intervention phase comprising 18 months of index ED visits with a 12 month follow-up window. Eligible patients will be defined as individuals 18 years or older who present to the ED in the designated date ranges and who screen positive for suicide risk on an evidence based screener administered clinically. Data for all eligible patients across both phases will be collected. Data sources will be electronic health records (EHR) and state death registries. Data related to the index ED visit and all acute care visits within a 12 month follow-up window of the index visit will be collected. A limited dataset with personal identifiers removed will be shared with UMass Chan Medical School for harmonization and analyses.
