Intensive Crisis Intervention for Suicidal Youth
This study is looking at two ways to help young people aged 12-17 who are experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors. One is called Intensive Crisis Intervention (ICI), which is a short, family-focused program that teaches skills. The other is standard care in an Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatient Unit (APIU). The study wants to see if ICI is a good alternative to traditional hospital stays. Researchers will measure how satisfied youth and parents are with the services and how family functioning changes over time. The goal is to improve how we manage severe crises in young people with psychiatric disorders. This study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This study plans to enroll 213 participants aged 12 to 17 years old. It compares two different behavioral interventions.
- What's involved
- Participants in the Intensive Crisis Intervention (ICI) group will have 2-3 individual sessions and 1-2 family sessions daily for an average of 4.5 days. Family functioning will be measured at discharge, 30 days, and 3 months after the intervention ends.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed up at post-discharge, 30 days, and 3 months after the intervention ends.

What this trial measures
- Youth's perspective on the value of services received on the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8)Post-discharge (day of discharge or as soon as possible after intervention ends)
The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) is an 8-item, easily scored and administered measurement that is designed to measure client satisfaction with services. The CSQ-8 uses a 4-point Likert scale. Scores are summed across items once. Items 2, 4, 5, and 8 are reverse scored. Total scores range from 8 to 32, with the higher number indicating greater satisfaction. The items for the CSQ-8 were selected on the basis of ratings by mental health professionals of items that could be related to client satisfaction and by subsequent factor analysis. The CSQ-8 is unidimensional, yielding a homogeneous estimate of general satisfaction with services. The CSQ-8 has been extensively studied, and while it is not necessarily a measure of a client's perceptions of gain from treatment or outcome, it does elicit the client's perspective on the value of services received.

- Change from baseline in family functioning on the Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation - 15 (SCORE-15) at post-discharge, 30 days, and 3 month follow-upsBaseline, post-discharge (day of discharge or as soon as possible after intervention ends), 30 days, 3 months
The SCORE-15 is a self-report measure of family functioning and has been proved to be a reliable and valid index of therapeutic change. The SCORE-15 has 15 Likert scale items (5-point scale; 1=Describes us very well; 5=Describes us not at all), and six separate indicators, three of them qualitative.
