Summary

The current study is a clinical trial, meaning a research study in which human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related behavioral outcomes. Specifically, male and female adolescents with current suicidal intent will be randomly assigned to receive either a 1-hour session of virtual crisis response planning (CRP), a 1-hour session of in-person CRP, or a 1-hour session of standard crisis risk management (treatment as usual). The feasibility and acceptability of the virtual CRP, compared to in-person CRP, will be assessed 14 days post-treatment. Additional assessments of changes in mood, behavior, and suicidality will be collected daily for 14 days post-treatment via ecological momentary assessments. The investigators hypothesize the following: 1) Virtual CRP will be rated as more feasible and acceptable compared to traditional CRP and treatment as usual interventions; 2) Both versions of CRP will be associated with changes in frequency and severity of suicidal ideation and behavior compared to treatment as usual; 3) Virtual CRP will be equally as effective as traditional CRP at reducing suicide risk, suggesting that virtual CRP is a promising scalable intervention adaptation.
