A Digitally Assisted Risk Reduction Platform for Youth at High Risk for Suicide (NCT05920252)
Development and Testing of a Digitally Assisted Risk Reduction Platform for Youth at High Risk for Suicide
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Despite efforts to prevent suicide, US rates are climbing, and suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth. Digital tools, especially personal smartphones, are promising avenues to address these issues and can be used to provide a unique understanding of risk factors, including psychological distress, anhedonia and behavioral withdrawal, and sleep disturbance among high-risk individuals. This project aims to enhance the effectiveness of the delivery of preventative health care to youth at risk for suicide by developing a comprehensive digital platform that allows practitioners to integrate mobile sensing data and HIPAA-compliant client communication tools into their management of these young people.
