What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an anonymous online screening tool for stress, depression, substance use, and suicidal thoughts among medical residents, fellows, and faculty at Oregon Health and Science University. Participants will complete the screening and have the opportunity to interact with a clinician online, which is expected to encourage them to seek in-person counseling. The study is based on motivational interviewing and aims to reduce suicide risk factors by increasing the willingness to seek help. The program is part of a broader initiative to promote mental health awareness and support within the medical community.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce depression and suicide risk among medical trainees and faculty.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown success with similar online screening and intervention approaches in promoting mental health among medical professionals.
