Youth Suicide Prevention: CAMS-BI vs. Safety Planning

This study is looking at two ways to help teenagers (ages 12-17) who have been hospitalized for thinking about suicide or attempting suicide. It compares two behavioral interventions: CAMS-Brief Intervention (CAMS-BI) and the Stanley-Brown Safety Planning Intervention (SPI). Both are single-session treatments given during their hospital stay. The goal is to see which intervention is better at reducing the number of times these teens need to be readmitted to the hospital for suicide risk within 90 days after they go home. About 118 participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of these interventions. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
