Official title

Treatment for Latino/a Adolescents With Suicidal Behavior

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The study is about developing the best aftercare treatment possible for Latino/a adolescents who have been hospitalized in a psychiatric unit due to a suicidal crisis (suicidal thoughts or attempts). The treatment's purpose is to help adolescents and their caregivers develop skills to prevent future suicidal crises. Latino/a adolescents usually report more suicidal behavior than other ethnic groups. The question that the investigators want to answer is if a new treatment (socio-cognitive behavioral therapy-(SCBT)) developed to their specific needs, taking into account their culture and aspects of adolescence, performs better than the treatment that they usually receive. Forty six adolescents were recruited from the Bradley Hospital adolescent inpatient unit or the Hasbro Inpatient Medical \& Psychiatric Program, or referred to Gateway Healthcare after discharge from other inpatient units in Rhode Island; half of them were assigned randomly to the treatment they would usually receive (TAU) and the other half to the new treatment (SCBT). In both groups, caregivers and adolescents completed questionnaires and interviews before the beginning of treatment and at 3, 6, and 12 months after the treatment begin. Questions to the participants were related to their presenting symptoms, family, social group, problems, and other similar topics. Also, participants were asked about their satisfaction with the treatment they were receiving. The purpose of the questionnaires and interviews are to follow their progress in therapy. At the end, comparisons will be made between the group who participated in TAU and the group who participated in the SCBT, based on the assessment results from the adolescents and caregivers.
