This study, called RISE, is looking at how daily routines like sleep and social activity affect mood and suicidal thoughts in older adults who have recently lost a spouse or life partner. It aims to understand why some people are more at risk for suicide after this loss and if changes in daily rhythms play a role. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, lost your spouse or partner within the last year, and have a history of suicidal thoughts or depression. The study will test an intervention called the WELL Behavioral Probe, which involves recording your sleep, meals, and social activity daily for three months using a digital diary, along with weekly health coaching. Researchers will measure changes in suicidal thoughts and loneliness over 12 months to see if the intervention helps.
