What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Crisis Response Planning for Suicide RiskBehavioural

    Crisis Response Planning is focused on creating personalized set of steps for individuals to follow in case of a crisis and includes individuals' personal warning signs of distress, behavioral coping strategies, reasons for living, social supports to contact, and contact information for professional services, including emergency services. Personalization of the Crisis Response Plan is encouraged, and individuals are instructed to handwrite each step of the Crisis Response Plan on an index card to review.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Suicide Visual Analog Scale scores from the previous daily assessment

    The Suicide Visual Analog Scale The S-VAS assesses "urge to kill myself" using a horizontal line with anchors on the left reflecting "none" (score: 0) and on the right reflecting "extreme" (score: 100). The S-VAS is initially presented with the indicator on the "none" position, and non-movement of the indicator is followed by a prompt to remind the participant to move the indicator, if relevant, to ensure response accuracy. Higher scores are indicative of greater severity

    Measured: Administered daily for eight consecutive days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Patient Health Questionnaire - 2 scores from the previous daily assessment

    The PHQ-2 is a 2-item measure of depression symptom severity adapted from the 9-item version of the PHQ (Kroenke \& Spitzer, 2002). Item responses are scores on a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 3. Total scores range from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity.

    Measured: Administered daily for eight consecutive days

  2. Change in Positive and Negative Affect Schedule - Short Form scores from the previous daily assessment

    The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule - Short Form a 20-item validated self-report measure of state positive and negative affect. The measure contains two, 10-item subscales measuring positive and negative affect, respectively. Possible total scores for each subscale range from 10 to 50, with higher scores indicating greater state affect.

    Measured: Administered daily for eight consecutive days

  3. Change in Crisis Response Plan Use from the previous daily assessment

    • In order to assess whether CRP use after completion impacts suicide urges and affect, participants will be instructed to "Please list all dates and times that you used part or all of the Crisis Response Plan that you completed since you last completed this survey. (or since you completed your Crisis Response Plan if this is the first survey you will complete)" You may provide us with your best estimates of dates and times."

    Measured: Administered daily for eight consecutive days

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Suicide Visual Analog Scale scores from the previous daily assessment (time frame: Administered daily for eight consecutive days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
