Examining Feasibility, Acceptability, and Sustainability of a Novel Personalized Smartphone Intervention for Suicide - Open Trial
- Conditions
- SuicideSuicide and Self-harmSuicide, AttemptedSuicidal Ideation
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Mobile Application to Prevent Suicide (MAPS)
- Registration Number
- NCT05180383
- Lead Sponsor
- Butler Hospital
- Brief Summary
The primary aim of the present study is leverage existing infrastructure to develop novel technological features for a novel personalized smartphone intervention system, called the Mobile Application to Prevent Suicide (MAPS), and to establish feasibility, acceptability, safety, and estimate key parameters for secondary outcomes (i.e., suicidal ideation and behavior; re-hospitalization).

Group Intervention Description Mobile Application to Prevent Suicide (MAPS) Mobile Application to Prevent Suicide (MAPS) Participants receiving MAPS will receive the Safety Planning Intervention (SPI) which will be uploaded into the smartphone app. They will be prompted four times per day to complete a brief ecological momentary assessment "check-in" inquiring about their cognitions, affect, and behavior, including suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Based on these responses, they will be provided with coping strategies from their safety plans and from a database of coping strategies created by study staff. They will also have access to emergency phone numbers, the coping strategies database, and can communicate with their study clinician through a text-like interface in the app. They will receive this intervention for one month.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) Adherence 4 weeks Number of assessments completed out of total.
Acceptability of Research (Recruitment) Baseline Measured by recruitment rate.
Satisfaction with MAPS Intervention 4 weeks Measured by protocol completion rate.
Patient Satisfaction 1 month Measured using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, a self-report measure of satisfaction with treatment. Scores range from 8 to 32, with higher scores representing higher satisfaction.
Acceptability of Research Procedures 1 month Feedback on qualitative interview.
Acceptability of MAPS Intervention 1 month Feedback on qualitative interview.
Acceptability of Research (Dropout) 1 month Measured by dropout rate.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Suicidal Ideation and Behavior 1 month Will be assessed using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, items from the Modified Scale for Suicidal Ideation, and ecological momentary assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior. The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale can provide presence/absence of suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior, as well as a suicidal ideation score ranging from 0 to 5 with higher scores representing more severe ideation, and a suicidal ideation intensity rating from 0-25 with higher scores representing more intense ideation.
Emergency Department Visits 1 month Number of emergency department visits will be assessed using the Treatment History Interview and medical records review.
Rehospitalization 1 month Number of inpatient rehospitalizations will be assessed using the Treatment History Interview and medical records review.
