What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) as a treatment for individuals who have recently attempted suicide. Conducted across six psychiatric clinics in Sweden, the study will recruit 460 patients who will be randomized to receive ASSIP alongside standard treatment or standard treatment alone. The trial aims to assess the effectiveness of ASSIP in preventing future suicide attempts and to identify factors that may influence its success. Additionally, the study will explore the economic benefits of implementing ASSIP in healthcare settings.
