Development of a Video-based Intervention for Suicide Prevention

February 28, 2023 updated by: Butler Hospital

Development of an Adjunctive Video-Based Suicide Prevention Intervention Immediately Following Psychiatric Hospitalization: Open Trial

The investigators will develop a brief video-based intervention for suicide prevention, called LifePlans. LifePlans will be tested in an initial open trial (n = 10) to examine its feasibility and acceptability. Investigators will recruit patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital for suicidal thoughts and behaviors who will receive the intervention for 4 weeks post-discharge. Patients will be assessed at hospital baseline, 1 month post-discharge, and 6 months post-discharge.
