This study will enroll 20 adolescent (age 13-17) inpatients at elevated risk for suicide. Participants will download the app onto their phones during their inpatient stay and will complete a single therapy session involving psychoeducation and crisis response planning. Participants will be encouraged to use the app on their own in addition to their usual outpatient services to learn and practice suicide prevention skills. Participants and their parents will be interviewed 1, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after discharge.
This single-group open-label trial will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a suicide prevention mobile application when used as an adjunct to usual care in adolescents.
