Combined DBT and Digital CBT-I for Teens at High Risk for Suicide
This study is looking at a new way to help teenagers (ages 12-18) who are at high risk for suicide and also have trouble sleeping. It combines two types of therapy: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which helps teens manage strong emotions and reduce self-harm, and a digital version of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which helps improve sleep. The goal is to see if adding CBT-I to DBT can lead to even bigger reductions in suicidal thoughts and self-harm than DBT alone. You might be able to join if you are 12-18, have significant sleep problems, and a history of self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

What this trial measures
- Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire Junior (SIQ-JR)Baseline and change from baseline at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 36 weeks after the start of the DBT program.
The SIQ-JR (Reynolds 1987) is a 15-item self-report questionnaire that assesses suicidal thoughts on a 7-point scale (I never had this thought to almost every day). Scores range from 0 to 90, with a published clinical cut-off score of 31.
- Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)Baseline and change from baseline at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 36 weeks after the start of the DBT program.
The ISI (Morin, 1993) is a 7-item self-report questionnaire that measures insomnia symptoms on a 4-point scale. Total score ranges from 0-28, with a total score of \> 9 being validated as the optimal cutoff for a likely insomnia diagnosis.
- Suicide Attempt Self-Injury Interview and CountBaseline and change from baseline at 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 36 weeks after the start of the DBT program.
Structured clinical interview that measures number, dates, method, intent and lethality of suicide attempts and non-suicidal self-injury episodes.
