NCT06499740 | NOT YET RECRUITING | Suicide Prevention

Adapting a Brief Suicide Intervention for Pediatric Primary Care: Enhancing Uptake and Impact
Sponsor:

University of Washington

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

Sarah Danzo

Brief Summary:

Suicide is a leading cause of death among adolescents in the United States and improving access to high quality just-in-time suicide interventions to reduce risk has important public health implications. Integrating such interventions into routinely accessed settings, such as pediatric primary care, holds promise; however, many clinicians in these settings fail to adequately screen or intervene in youth suicidal thoughts and behaviors, representing a key barrier to reducing suicide. The proposed study is a pre-post quasi-experimental pilot feasibility and preliminary efficacy trial of an adaptation of the SAFETY-Acute suicide prevention intervention implemented in 3 pediatric primary care clinics.

Detailed Description:

This project aims to take an innovative, user-centered design approach to adapt and optimize a brief, evidence-based suicide intervention, SAFETY-Acute (SAFETY-A; formerly known as Family Intervention for Suicide Prevention -aka FISP), for use in primary care settings to support primary care management of adolescents with low to moderate risk suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB). In this trial, the investigators will conduct a pre-post quasi-experimental pilot feasibility and preliminary efficacy trial of an adapted STB model of care based of the SAFETY-Acute intervention, compared to treatment as usual, with 3 primary care clinics. The trial will include 48 10-18-year-old patients with STB and their parents/caregivers (16 dyads per clinic). The investigators will assess acceptability and feasibility of the STB model of care, preliminary intervention impacts, and need for further adaptation.
