The primary aim of the present study is leverage existing infrastructure to develop novel technological features for a novel personalized smartphone intervention system, called the Mobile Application to Prevent Suicide (MAPS), and to establish feasibility, acceptability, safety, and estimate key parameters for secondary outcomes (i.e., suicidal ideation and behavior; re-hospitalization).

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.
Time frame: 1 month
Rehospitalization
Number of inpatient rehospitalizations will be assessed using the Treatment History Interview and medical records review.
Time frame: 1 month
Emergency Department Visits
Number of emergency department visits will be assessed using the Treatment History Interview and medical records review.
Time frame: 1 month
