Jaspr Health App for Suicidal Thoughts or Attempts in the Emergency Department
This study is looking at how well a digital tool called Jaspr Health works for people who come to the Emergency Department (ED) with suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, or self-harm. You would use the Jaspr app on a tablet to complete a suicide risk assessment and learn coping skills and resources. The study compares this app to usual care in the ED. Researchers want to see if using Jaspr Health can help reduce suicide-related issues over 12 months. To join, you must be 18 or older, have recent suicidal thoughts or an attempt, be able to consent and use the app, read English at a 6th-grade level, and have reliable phone access. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 670 people.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It is a randomized controlled trial (RCT), where participants are randomly assigned to either use the Jaspr app or receive usual care.
- What's involved
- You would complete a baseline assessment and then engage with the Jaspr app on a tablet or receive usual care. You can continue to access your safety plan, coping skills, and videos through the Jaspr at Home (JAH) mobile app.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your suicide composite will be measured at 12 months after enrollment.
