Overview

The primary aim of this grant is to conduct pilot testing on a novel personalized mobile intervention for suicide - Mobile Application to Prevent Suicide (MAPS) - and to establish feasibility, acceptability, safety, and primary outcomes (i.e., suicidal ideation and behavior; re-hospitalization).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Acceptability of Research (Recruitment)

Measured by recruitment rate.

Time frame: Baseline

Acceptability of Research (Dropout)

Measured by dropout rate.

Time frame: 1 month

Acceptability of Research Procedures

Feedback on qualitative interview

Time frame: 1 month

Patient Satisfaction

Measured using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, a self-report measure of satisfaction with treatment. Scores range from 8 to 32, with higher scores representing higher satisfaction.

Time frame: 1 month

Acceptability of MAPS Intervention

Feedback on qualitative interview.

Time frame: 1 month

Satisfaction with MAPS Intervention

Measured by protocol completion rate.

Time frame: 4 weeks

Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) Adherence

Number of assessments completed out of total.

Time frame: 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Suicidal Ideation and Behavior

Will be assessed using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, items from the Modified Scale for Suicidal Ideation, and ecological momentary assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior. The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale can provide presence/absence of suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior, as well as a suicidal ideation score ranging from 0 to 5 with higher scores representing more severe ideation, and a suicidal ideation intensity rating from 0-25 with higher scores representing more intense ideation.
