简要总结
Sexual and gender minority youth (i.e., LGBTQ+ individuals) are at elevated risk for suicidal thoughts compared to cisgender/heterosexual youth and there is increased demand for programs and treatments tailored to this population. The current study seeks to pilot a brief, online, self-guided intervention for suicidal thoughts designed for sexual and gender minority youth to test if this intervention is acceptable to this population and if completing this intervention significantly decreases suicidal thoughts.
详细描述
The current study will pilot an intervention for suicidal thoughts in sexual and gender minority youth. We will recruit of a sample of sexual and gender minority youth who report experiencing recent thoughts of suicide. Participants will be asked to complete a battery of questionnaires including demographic questions and mental health symptom assessments, then complete the intervention, and finally complete additional questionnaires. One month after completing the intervention, participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires. This study is designed to evaluate the acceptability and initial effectiveness of this intervention and will not include a control group.

结局指标
主要结局
Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire - Junior
时间窗: From Baseline (i.e., before intervention administration) to four weeks after intervention administration.
Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire - Junior (SIQ-Jr; Reynolds, 1987). The SIQ-Jr was used to assess suicidal ideation in the current study. This self-report measure include 15 items of suicidal thoughts that are rated on a 7-item scale (i.e., Almost every day, couple of times a week, about once a week, couple of times a month, About once a month, I had this thought before but not in the past month, I never had this thought) of how frequency the respondent had each thought in their mind over the past month. Sample items include I thought about dying, I wished I were dead, and I thought about killing myself. The SIQ-Jr is scored by summing the responses to create a total score from 0-90, with higher scores indicating a higher severity of suicidal ideation.
