Project SAFER: Self-Guided Safety Plan for Suicidal Teens
Project SAFER is studying two ways to help teenagers (ages 13-17) who have had suicidal thoughts or attempts. One group will learn about suicide crisis resources (Psychoeducation about Suicide Crisis Resources). The other group will use a self-guided electronic safety plan (Self-Guided Electronic Safety Plan Intervention) to help them cope. The study wants to see if these interventions improve how confident teens feel about avoiding future suicidal actions and their ability to cope with suicide-related feelings. You can join if you can read English, have internet access, and have experienced suicidal thoughts or attempts recently. The study aims to enroll 300 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This study is an interventional trial with a planned enrollment of 300 participants. It compares two behavioral interventions: psychoeducation and a self-guided electronic safety plan.
- What's involved
- All aspects of the study, including eligibility screening and interventions, will be completed online via Qualtrics. The record does not specify the number of visits or the exact duration of participation beyond the intervention itself.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants' self-efficacy and coping capacity will be measured immediately after the intervention and across a 3-month follow-up period.

What this trial measures
- Average scores on self-efficacy to avoid future suicidal action scorePost-intervention AND across 3-month follow-up period
Responses to a question measuring self-efficacy to avoid future suicidal behavior: "If you have serious thoughts of killing yourself in the future, how confident are you that you WILL BE ABLE to keep yourself from attempting suicide?" (Czyz et al., 2016)
- Average perceived suicide-related coping capacityimmediately post intervention AND across 3-month follow-up period
Average scores on a composite of 3 items from the Stanley et al. 2017 measure of suicide-related coping (i.e., I have several things I can do to get through a suicidal crisis, I do not think there is anything that I can do to help myself when I am feeling suicidal (R), I am at the mercy of my suicidal thoughts (R))
