The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate youth-focused intervention programs for suicide and self-harm that are tailored to the psychological, developmental, and cultural characteristics of Korean adolescents and young adults. The study examines whether two structured, mindfulness-based intervention programs-one for middle and high school students and one for young adults-reduce suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, depressive symptoms, and emotion-regulation difficulties. The study also aims to determine whether these clinical improvements are associated with biological changes, including alterations in resting-state functional brain activity (e.g., ALFF, ReHo, and functional connectivity) and social rhythm patterns. The main questions this study seeks to answer are: * Does the youth suicide and self-harm intervention program reduce suicidal ideation and self-injurious thoughts/behaviors? * Does the program improve mood, sleep, hopelessness, and emotion regulation? * Are improvements in clinical outcomes accompanied by changes in biological markers of suicide risk? * Researchers will compare the intervention program to usual care provided in hospitals, schools, and community mental health settings. Participants will: * Participate in the structured suicide/self-harm intervention program or receive usual care. * Complete standardized assessments of mood, sleep, emotion regulation and suicide/self-harm risk. * Undergo biological assessments, including resting-state fMRI and rhythm-related measures, at baseline and follow-up. * Be followed for up to 12 weeks.
NCT06358339
Patients with mental disorders are at significantly higher risk of suicide after discharge compared to the general population and patients with other diseases. Currently, there is a lack of post-discharge community suicide risk management services in China. The research team's preliminary research suggests that mHealth interventions are well-accepted and feasible for reducing the suicide risk in patients with mental disorders. Furthermore, the inclusion of gamification elements can enhance treatment adherence and user engagement. However, determining the appropriate combination of gamification elements and evaluating the implementation effectiveness of gamified mHealth interventions for suicide risk are challenges in transforming these into regular community mental health services. This study will leverage gamification theory and community-based participatory research to design a gamified mHealth intervention model aimed at reducing suicide risk among discharged patients with mental disorders, and to develop a corresponding management strategy. Using the multi-phase optimization strategy (MOST), the study will identify the optimal combination of gamification elements to reduce suicide risk and increase the outpatient follow-up rate. Through an implementation science framework, the investigators will evaluate the process, outcomes, cost, and feasibility of this management strategy with the goal of reducing suicide risk among these patients. The findings from this study will provide a scientific basis for innovative suicide risk management models for discharged patients with mental disorders in China, thereby paving the way for the application of implementation science in mental health.
NCT06596044
The study is of high importance to Veterans' health because it will study a suicide prevention intervention in a Veteran population that is at high risk of suicide but has not been a specific focus of the Veteran Affairs' (VA's) suicide prevention efforts. Specifically, a growing number of Veterans are now receiving acute mental health treatment in VA-purchased settings (commonly referred to as Community Care). While these Veterans are at high risk of suicide after discharge, very little is known about how to prevent suicide in these Veterans. This study will directly address this problem by looking at whether a promising suicide prevention strategy called the VA Brief Intervention and Contact Program (VA BIC) can decrease the risk of suicide in Veterans after they are discharged from a non-VA mental health treatment setting. The proposed research is highly pertinent to the VA's top clinical priority-to prevent suicide in Veterans.
NCT06686901
This study aims to evaluate the acceptability, safety, and efficacy of a smartphone-delivered intervention called Therapeutic Evaluative Conditioning for Suicide (TEC-S) in reducing suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) among adults with recent and frequent suicide ideation.
NCT06499740
Suicide is a leading cause of death among adolescents in the United States and improving access to high quality just-in-time suicide interventions to reduce risk has important public health implications. Integrating such interventions into routinely accessed settings, such as pediatric primary care, holds promise; however, many clinicians in these settings fail to adequately screen or intervene in youth suicidal thoughts and behaviors, representing a key barrier to reducing suicide. The proposed study is a pre-post quasi-experimental pilot feasibility and preliminary efficacy trial of a suicide prevention intervention informed by evidence based interventions including the SAFETY-Acute suicide prevention intervention implemented in 3 pediatric primary care clinics.
NCT05427734
The central purpose of this project is to evaluate and facilitate access to evidence-based best practices for individuals struggling with suicidal ideation and co-occurring behavioral problems, including alcohol misuse, and provide assistance to the patients while they are waiting to receive care, as they are receiving care, and after they return home. While WisePath is highly innovative in how it delivers these best practices, the content is well-established and known to reduce suicidality and alcohol misuse. We will conduct a 12-week intent-to-treat RCT with 120 suicidal adults 22 years and older who may also be experiencing alcohol misuse. Participants will be randomly assigned to WisePath (n=60) or an active control condition (n=60) including a control suicide prevention self-help app plus an electronic wellness resources brochure containing links to health and wellness materials, psychoeducation about suicide, depression, self-help recovery-focused resources (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-Step programs, Moderation Management, etc.), and phone/text information for the 988 Suicide \& Crisis Lifeline. Participants will be assessed at baseline, 4, 8 and 12 weeks.
NCT07346014
The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which delivering sleep and circadian focused interventions in addition to evidenced based psychiatric care for depression and suicide risk may contribute to decreasing suicide risk among high risk young adults. Investigators will evaluate three interventions targeting sleep in acutely suicidal college students enrolled in intensive outpatient treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups: 1. Triple Chronotherapy (TCT)+ Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention (TSC) 2. Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention (TSC) 3. Sleep Feedback (SF) Participants will be followed for 6 months with primary outcome domains of suicidal thoughts and behaviors and depression evaluated by blinded clinicians at short (Days 1-4 of intervention), medium (2 months) and long (6 month) term intervals.
NCT05994612
Suicide is the leading cause of death among YEH and most youth do not access services that may be available to them. Therefore, this study seeks to address this gap in the research literature with the goal to identify an effective intervention that can be readily adopted by communities that serve these youth. We will test the effects of outreach-worker delivered Cognitive Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CTSP)+Services as Usual (SAU) versus SAU alone on suicidal ideation (primary outcome), substance use and depressive symptoms (secondary outcomes) at 3, 6, 9 and 12- months.
NCT06349915
Suicide risk has increased among youth in underserved communities, where access to mental healthcare is limited. To address this need, the investigator team plans to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a brief, low-cost, culturally responsive digital intervention for ethnically diverse youth at risk for suicide in The Bronx, New York. In collaboration with community stakeholders, suicide recovery narratives, featuring adolescents' experiences related to recovery from suicidal thoughts will be developed. A smartphone ecological momentary assessment (EMA) app will be used to evaluate whether a curriculum of these narratives provides anti-suicidal benefits to at-risk adolescents.
NCT05639426
Interpersonal or community violence is a long-standing health disparity that disproportionately affects African American youth, and suicide is disproportionately increasing among African American youth. This project evaluates the impact of a multisystemic prevention program designed to reduce health disparities in violence by promoting equity in African American youths' experiences in education systems. This intervention has the potential to reduce morbidity and mortality among African American youth, promote overall quality of life, and reduce the societal costs associated with both interpersonal violence and suicidality.
NCT05558332
This study aims to adapt the current Youth-Nominated Support Team (YST) manual used to treat suicide risk for people at clinical high risk for psychosis.
NCT06474221
Our study is designed to study the efficacy of an Electronic based psycho-social intervention targeting healthy coping and problem solving skills to mitigate suicidal behaviour. This would integrate existing systems and bridge the gap in accessibility to care for suicidal behaviour.
NCT06614946
The researchers hope to learn whether an electronic safety plan (ESP) and a supportive text messaging program are feasible and acceptable to adult patients with recent suicidal thoughts or behavior after emergency department (ED) discharge. From this study, the researchers also hope to learn how to best carry out the ESP and text messaging program to improve outcomes for patients after ED discharge.
NCT06886776
This randomized controlled trial will take place in up to 15 community health centers across the state of Illinois. Researchers will be studying S.A.F.E. Firearm, a program that aims to increase secure storage of firearms in homes with children. Specifically, S.A.F.E. Firearm includes a brief conversation between pediatric clinicians and parents about secure firearm storage and an offer of a free cable firearm lock within the well-child visit. Researchers will also study a package of strategies to help pediatric clinics incorporate this new practice. The strategies include training for clinic personnel and facilitation, or tailored problem-solving support. The questions the study aims to answer are: * How effective is the package of strategies at helping pediatric clinics adopt this new practice? * How effective is the S.A.F.E. Firearm program at changing parents' and guardians' firearm storage behavior? Some parents and guardians will be invited to complete a brief survey after their visit about their experiences receiving S.A.F.E. Firearm. Some community health center personnel will also be invited to complete an interview about their experiences with S.A.F.E. Firearm and the package of strategies.
NCT07488559
The purpose of this study is to test whether an individual coaching program helps adults age 60 and older feel more connected to other people in ways that matter to them.
NCT04578938
This project seeks to identify the acute and longer-term impact of a single dose of intravenous ketamine among suicidal patients referred for psychiatric consultation/liaison in the medical inpatient setting. The investigators will then test whether ketamine's rapid effects can be extended by introducing helpful information delivered by a computer-based training protocol. This work could ultimately lead to the ability to treat suicidality more efficiently and with broader dissemination by rapidly priming the brain for helpful forms of learning.
NCT05669976
The overarching goal of this study is to evaluate a newly-developed suicide prevention program for sexual and gender minority youth and emerging adults. After development of the intervention program, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted to test its preliminary efficacy in lowering the risk for suicide attempts.
NCT07068685
The goal of this pilot study is to learn whether the use of suicide risk prediction algorithms in primary care can help identify people who may benefit from extra mental health monitoring. Specifically, this study aims to measure how use of the suicide risk prediction algorithm to prompt extra mental health monitoring among adult primary care patients impacts proportions of patients identified at risk of suicide and engaged in safety planning. Secondarily, we plan to measure proportions of patients identified at risk of suicide via mental health monitoring (irrespective of engagement in safety planning).
NCT05967364
This trial tests the effectiveness of the Wingman-Connect Program delivered by USAF personnel on individual suicide risk. Randomization will be among classes at Initial Technical Training, in which 396 classes of USAF personnel will be randomized to Wingman-Connect or to an active control training (N=2,970 Airmen) and followed for one year. These classes send a proportion of graduates to Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) \& Air Mobility Command (AMC) operational bases.
NCT05345184
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.
