Description
Molly Adrian and co-authors present a 2023 protocol for a multisite trial on what helps teenagers after a suicidal crisis. Brief, focused care after emergency treatment is scarce, and this study pits two structured approaches against enhanced usual care. One arm builds a safety plan with scheduled follow-up contacts; the other uses a therapy that targets each teen's personal drivers of suicidal thinking.
Both active treatments run up to eight sessions over about eight weeks. The main outcome counts suicidal events, from attempts to crises that change a care plan. Secondary measures track attempt counts and the severity of suicidal thoughts. The team will also probe what drives change and who benefits most. The protocol sets out the ethics and reporting plans in advance.
