Refinement of Suicide Risk Management Intervention

Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 4 interventions using a sequential stratified randomization procedure. We will use sex (M, F) and history of suicide attempts (never, 1, and multiple) as our randomization strata. Participants will be assessed before and after the intervention to study the potential effects of each approach on suicide-related clinical outcomes.

Treatment and study plan

Safety Plan

Behavioral

The safety plan is a written, prioritized list of coping strategies and resources for reducing suicide risk.

Crisis Response Plan

Behavioral

Crisis response planning intervention teaches a range of coping strategies and provides support that can reduce suicide attempts and ideation.

Structured Interview

In the structured interview approach, clinicians ask a series of predetermined questions and/or assess a specified set of risk and protective factors, typically using a checklist-based approach.

Narrative Assessment

Behavioral

In the narrative assessment approach, clinicians ask patients to "tell the story" of their suicidal crisis.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in suicide relevant thoughts and behaviors after the intervention (Self Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors questionnaire)

    Time frame: During an average of 2-weeks pre-intervention, 2-weeks post-intervention, 1 month follow-up after intervention

    Items from the Self Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors questionnaire (Fox et al., 2020) will be used to assess suicide relevant thoughts and behaviors
