Detailed Description
The Investigators developed a novel psychosocial intervention called "Cognitive Reappraisal Intervention for Suicide Prevention (CRISP)," which aims to improve cognitive reappraisal ability (i.e. the ability to modify the appraisal of a situation to alter its emotional significance) (target), and reduce suicide risk (outcome). The conceptual framework views suicidal ideation and behavior as failed attempts to regulate negative emotions and by improving cognitive reappraisal, an effective emotion regulation strategy, the investigators expect to reduce suicide risk. This theory is supported by studies showing that unsuccessful attempts to regulate negative emotions and decreased cognitive reappraisal are associated with increased suicidal ideation and behavior.
The R61 phase is a proof-of-principle phase and its goals are to optimize CRISP and test its engagement with cognitive reappraisal. Certified social workers will administer 12 weekly sessions of CRISP to 40 middle-aged and older adults (50-90 years old) after a suicide-related hospitalization. Research assistants, unaware of the study aims, will conduct assessments at study entry (hospital admission), discharge, 6 and 12 weeks post-discharge. Target engagement will be assessed with EEG assessments during a standard pictured-based stimuli and our novel cognitive reappraisal paradigm.
The R33 phase aims to provide further evidence of target engagement of the optimized CRISP in a larger sample, evaluate the relationship of cognitive reappraisal with suicide risk as measured with Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and estimate implementation parameters for a large-scale clinical trial. A different sample of 90 middle-aged and older adults (using the same inclusion/exclusion criteria as for the R61 phase) will be randomized to CRISP or to Supportive Therapy (ST, a control treatment not designed to improve emotion regulation). Assessments will be conducted on admission, at discharge, and at 6, 12 and 24 weeks post-discharge. Primary aims are: 1) CRISP participants will show improvement in cognitive reappraisal ability from discharge to end of treatment; and 2) improvement in cognitive reappraisal ability will be associated with suicide risk over 24 weeks.

Experimental: CRISP
Cognitive Reappraisal Intervention for Suicide Prevention (CRISP) is a psychosocial intervention aimed to reduce suicide risk in middle-aged and older adults who have been hospitalized for suicidal ideation or suicide attempt.
CRISP offers a combination of emotion regulation techniques, including changing the subject's perspective or the way he/she thinks to improve emotion reactions.
Additional strategies taught include the provision of environmental adaptation tools (notes, checklists, calendars, etc), phone calls, and a tablet application called WellPATH.

Active Comparator: Supportive Therapy (ST)
Supportive Therapy focuses on: 1. facilitating expression of affect; 2. conveying to the patient that he or she is understood; 3. offering empathy; and 4. highlighting positive experiences.
The ST manual aims to standardize nonspecific therapeutic factors.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Emotion Regulation, as measured by the Electroencephalogram (EEG), Autobiographical Affective Regulation Task (AART), and a standard picture-based emotion regulation task.
Time Frame: Baseline, 6, 12, and 24 weeks
|
A composite measure of the above tasks with the EEG will be analyzed to assess the patient's cognitive reappraisal ability.

Other Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Suicide Severity, as measured by the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSR-S)
Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 1-24
|
The CSSR-S assesses risk for suicide, specifically severity of thoughts, intensity of thoughts, behavior and lethality.
Questions are scored in categories, 1-10, with lower numbers indicating less severity and higher numbers more severity.
