What this research studies
This research focuses on developing a personalized intervention called PRECISE for individuals at high risk of suicide. It utilizes intensive data collection and analysis to understand the unique risk factors for each individual, which can change over time. By integrating coaching and evidence-based treatments like Safety Planning and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the intervention aims to tailor support to the specific needs of each participant. The study will involve refining the intervention through user-centered design and testing its effectiveness in a randomized controlled trial.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals aged 21 and younger who are identified as being at high risk for suicide.
Not a fit: Patients who do not meet the age criteria or who are not considered at high risk for suicide may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective and personalized suicide prevention strategies for individuals at high risk.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using personalized approaches for mental health interventions, indicating potential success for this novel approach.
