Improving support for teens at risk of suicide during critical times
Advancing Suicide Intervention Strategies for Teens During High Risk Periods
This study is looking at two helpful programs designed to support teenagers at risk of suicide as they move from hospital care to regular outpatient services, and it aims to see if these programs work better than the usual care by involving teens, their parents, and doctors.

What this research studies
This research evaluates two specific interventions aimed at helping teenagers who are at risk of suicide when they transition from acute care to outpatient services. The interventions, Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and Safety Planning Intervention with follow-up (SPI+), will be compared to standard care to determine their effectiveness. Involving adolescents, their parents, and clinicians, the study seeks to understand how these interventions can better support youth during this vulnerable period and improve overall mental health outcomes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adolescents aged 12 to 20 who have presented to acute care due to suicide risk.
Not a fit: Patients who are not in the adolescent age range or those who do not have a history of acute suicide risk may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective strategies for preventing suicide among teenagers during critical transition periods.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using similar intervention strategies to improve outcomes for at-risk youth, indicating a potential for success in this approach.
