Overview
Brief Summary
Randomized controlled trial to determine the best brief suicide prevention intervention for adults and adolescents who screen positive for suicidal ideation or behavior in emergency departments or primary care clinics.
Aim 1: Compare the effectiveness of two brief suicide prevention interventions (safety planning intervention plus structured phone-based follow-up from a suicide prevention hotline (SPI+), versus safety planning intervention plus caring contacts (CC)) to (a) reduce suicidal ideation and behavior, (b) reduce loneliness, (c) reduce return to care for suicidality, and (d) increase uptake of outpatient mental healthcare services over 12 months among adult and adolescent patients screening positive for suicide in emergency departments (EDs) and primary care clinics.
Aim 2: Assess the acceptability of connection and support planning and the safety planning intervention, with or without follow-up among providers and clinical staff in EDs and primary care clinics.
Aim 3: Assess the acceptability of SPI+ and SP+CC among adult and adolescent patients.
