Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) at risk of suicide who have not recently been followed by a mental health team but have been stabilized by emergency psychiatry and meet moderate-to-high risk criteria on the C-SSRS.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with extremely high acute risk requiring urgent hospitalization or those already under active follow-up at another mental health unit may not benefit from this program.

What this trial studies
This quasi-experimental, ambispective cohort study compares an intervention group receiving a high-resolution suicide prevention program with a control group receiving standard community mental health care. Participants are adults (≥18) evaluated for moderate-to-high suicide risk and stabilized by emergency psychiatry before enrollment. The study uses a pre-test/post-test design to assess changes in risk and outcomes related to suicidality. Conducted in the Salamanca Health Area, it involves collaboration between the University of Salamanca and regional health services. The aim is to determine whether the specialized program can reduce suicidal behavior and improve safety and well-being compared with usual care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience reduced risk and fewer suicidal behaviors through targeted, multidisciplinary support.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in suicide prevention have shown benefits from structured, community-based programs, though this ambispective quasi-experimental design is relatively novel for this setting.
