About

This in-progress study will evaluate a novel program developed by our team to improve the effective outpatient management of youth with acute suicide risk. Program evaluation examines just-in time intervention to assess suicide risk level, address imminent risk, and begin treatment to address ideographic suicidal drivers over time. The clinic has served more than 200 youth and families since 2019. Qualitative and quantitative data from youth, caregivers, and clinicians demonstrate high levels of fidelity, feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability, however, impact on core health outcomes has not been conducted. Funding will allow for analysis of the treatment program to demonstrate the impact of the intervention on suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
