SAFETY family-based program for youths after a suicide attempt

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-blind, randomized, multisite superiority trial comparing the SAFETY transdiagnostic family-based cognitive-behavioral program to enhanced treatment as usual for youths aged 10–17 who have attempted suicide within the past 3 months. Participants and at least one caregiver receive the SAFETY intervention soon after the attempt, with the primary endpoint at 3 months post-treatment and a 12-month follow-up to assess durability. Outcomes include suicide re-attempts (primary), nonsuicidal self-injury, global functioning, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, a composite self-harm outcome, and health-economic analyses. The trial will also test predictors and moderators of treatment effect to guide targeting and scale-up.
