Safety Planning Intervention rollout in Swedish psychiatric services to prevent suicide

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 stepped-wedge implementation study introducing the Safety Planning Intervention (a brief, ~45-minute crisis plan) across multiple adult psychiatric emergency and inpatient units in Region Skåne. Healthcare providers receive brief training to deliver the intervention and each unit transitions from usual care to offering SPI at staggered time points. Outcomes include suicide-related emergency visits, psychiatric hospitalizations, and other healthcare utilization measured before and after implementation. The design ensures all participating units eventually deliver SPI while allowing comparison between implementation phases.
