Official title
Pilot Micro-Randomized Trial of a Real-Time Intervention for Promoting Safety Plan and Coping Strategy Use for Suicidal Thoughts
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this study is to learn about a new, real-time, smartphone-based intervention aimed to decrease risk for suicide in adults who have been hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or behaviors. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: * Is a real-time, smartphone-based intervention that promotes the use of safety plans and other coping strategies for suicidal thoughts feasible and acceptable? * Does the real-time intervention result in increased use of safety plans and other coping strategies, and reduce suicidal thoughts? Participants will: * Answer questions about current suicidal thoughts on their smartphone up to 6 times each day while they are in the hospital and during the 4 weeks after they leave the hospital * When they report elevated suicidal thoughts on a smartphone survey, be randomly assigned to receive or not receive automated, interactive reminders to use content from their personalized safety plan or general coping strategies * Answer brief follow-up questions on their smartphone within a couple hours of receiving or not receiving automated reminders * Give feedback on their experience with the real-time intervention
