Improving the identification of suicide risk in real-time.
Improving momentary suicide risk identification through adaptive time sampling
['FUNDING_R21'] · UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON · NIH-11163788
This study is looking to help people who might be at risk for suicide by checking in with them throughout the day to understand their thoughts and feelings better, so we can find the best ways to support them when they need it most.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the identification of individuals at risk for suicide by using a personalized approach to data collection. It employs ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to gather information about suicidal thoughts and related risk factors multiple times throughout the day. By adapting the timing of these assessments to each individual's unique patterns, the study aims to capture critical changes in risk levels that occur in real-time, allowing for more effective interventions. The goal is to develop a system that can pinpoint when a person is at their highest risk for suicidal ideation.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals who have experienced suicidal thoughts or behaviors and are willing to participate in real-time assessments.
Not a fit: Patients who do not experience suicidal ideation or have no history of suicidal thoughts may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more timely and effective interventions for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies using ecological momentary assessment have shown promise in capturing the dynamics of suicidal ideation, suggesting that this adaptive approach could be a significant advancement.
