About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an app to help keep teens and young adults with suicidal thoughts safe. The app includes a safety plan created by adolescents and healthcare providers, and videos to encourage supportive communication and skills for teens and young adults to stay safe. The main question it aims to answer is whether the use of an app can increase youth suicide-related coping for youth with suicidal ideation, parent/caregiver suicide prevention self-efficacy, and healthcare provider self-efficacy in suicide management. Researchers will compare usual care to usual care with the app. Participants, including adolescents, caregivers, and healthcare providers, will use the ISSP app (if assigned to that group) and view video content and complete three online surveys.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Age 13 -21 years, an Ask Suicide Questions (ASQ) screen score of 1-5 with active ideation (not solely a history of a prior attempt) but no current plan or intent, or patient-reported suicidal thoughts and behaviors during a clinical assessment in a medical setting who are judged by a clinician to be appropriate for conducting higher level assessment in that setting (including a BSSA and/or safety planning) in order to support care at home.
Parents/guardians: One "parent" per AYA will also be invited to participate.
HCPs: All HCPs in participating settings who may conduct assessments of SI and safety planning (physicians, nurse practitioners/physician's assistants, social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists) will be invited to participate.
All subjects must have access to the internet and a computer or tablet device.
