What this research studies
Adolescents who have been hospitalized for suicide risk are still at high risk after they go home. This project is looking for new ways to help these teens stay safe and prevent future crises. We are testing a personalized approach that uses mobile technology, like text messages, to provide support tailored to each teen's changing needs. This includes a safety plan developed with teens and parents during hospitalization, follow-up calls, and daily text support.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adolescents who have recently been hospitalized due to suicide risk.
Not a fit: Patients who have not experienced a recent psychiatric hospitalization for suicide risk may not directly benefit from this specific intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could provide a more effective and personalized way to help adolescents avoid suicidal behavior after leaving the hospital.
How similar studies have performed: A pilot project has already shown promising results regarding the feasibility and acceptability of a similar multi-component intervention.
