RECRUITING

Integrated Suicide Supports and Safety Planning for Youth

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an app to help keep teens and young adults with suicidal thoughts safe. The app includes a safety plan created by adolescents and healthcare providers in the clinic, and videos to encourage supportive communication and skills for teens and young adults to stay safe. The main question it aims to answer is whether the use of an app can increase youth suicide-related coping for youth with suicidal ideation, parent suicide prevention self-efficacy, and healthcare provider self-efficacy in suicide management. Researchers will compare usual care to usual care with the app. Participants, including adolescents, their caregivers and healthcare providers, will use the ISSP app (if assigned to that group) and complete three online surveys.
