What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to address the challenges faced by individuals with suicidal thoughts and behaviors in accessing professional help. It involves a fully remote randomized controlled trial with 364 participants aged 16 and older, recruited through a suicide prevention helpline in the Netherlands. Participants will be assigned to either Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention (BCBT-SP) or a semi-guided online self-help course designed to reduce suicidal thoughts. The study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions in preventing suicide attempts, which is a critical gap in current online interventions.
