Suicidal Ideation/Behavior

This NIMH R34 award application proposes to conduct an adaptation, implementation, and pilot testing of the culturally centered CBT protocol, the Socio-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicidal Behaviors (SCBTSB), among suicidal youth in Mexico City, Mexico. The research plan will (a) culturally adapt and contextualize the SCBT-SB for its implementation in the Mexican public health system, (b) pilot test the protocol through an RCT (SCBT-SB vs TAU; 60 patients and caregivers) and (c) evaluate the implementation process of the SCBT-SB and assess qualitatively possible factors that may promote or hinder its future uptake.
