Advancing Suicide Intervention Strategies for Teens

This study is looking at ways to help teenagers who have thought about or attempted suicide. It compares two behavioral therapies, Safety Planning Intervention+ (SPI+) and Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), with usual care. SPI+ helps teens create a plan for when they feel suicidal, while CAMS focuses on understanding and treating the reasons behind suicidal thoughts. This study is for teenagers aged 11 to 17 who have been admitted to a hospital for suicidal thoughts or actions. The main goal is to see if these interventions reduce suicidal events over 12 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.
