['FUNDING_R01'] · UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER · NIH-10591576
This study is looking at how well a short program called ASSIP can help people who have recently tried to take their own lives, by offering three supportive sessions to reduce the chances of future attempts, and it's designed to be easy to access in community mental health settings.

What this research studies
This research investigates the effectiveness of the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP), which consists of three sessions aimed at helping individuals who have recently attempted suicide. The program is designed to be brief, low-cost, and implemented within community mental health settings. By conducting a randomized controlled trial with 400 participants, the research will assess how well ASSIP reduces the likelihood of future suicide attempts and examines the cost-effectiveness of the intervention. The study also aims to understand the underlying mechanisms that contribute to its effectiveness.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals who have recently survived a suicide attempt and are receiving care in a community mental health setting.
Not a fit: Patients who have not attempted suicide or those who are not engaged in mental health services may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce the rate of suicide reattempts among individuals who have previously attempted suicide.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies of the ASSIP have shown promising results, with significant reductions in suicide reattempts, indicating that this approach has been effective in other contexts.
