PRECISE for Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors

This study is testing a new personalized approach called PRECISE (PeRsonalizEd Clinical Intervention for Suicidal Events) for people experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

The study aims to see if personalizing these interventions, based on your individual data, can make them more effective.
