Assessment of Emotion Regulation Strategies Used When Suicidal
Real-Time Assessment of Emotion Regulation Strategies Used by Suicidal Military Personnel
Crisis Response Planning is an efficacious, one-session intervention that increases positive affect, decreases negative affect and psychiatric hospitalizations, and reduces suicide attempts by 76% among Servicemembers. Crisis Response Planning is hypothesized to reduce suicidality by identifying a variety of personalized strategies that are designed to strengthen and/or promote emotion regulation processes.Research in nonmilitary samples suggests the effectiveness of emotion regulation strategies varies across situations. The applicability of these findings to suicidality among Servicemembers is unknown. Improved understanding of what strategies work under which circumstances and for whom will significantly advance our ability to prevent suicide among Servicemembers. Hypotheses include:
- Use of self-management strategies, thinking about reasons for living, and seeking social support at time t will be associated with significant reductions in suicidal ideation at time t+1.
- Use of distraction, reappraisal, and interpersonal emotion regulation strategies at time t will be associated with significant reductions in suicidal ideation at time t+1.
- Affect intensity and social context will significantly moderate the time-lagged effects of Crisis Response Planning and emotion regulation strategy use on suicidal ideation.
- Distinct profiles of demographic (e.g., gender, age), historical (e.g., prior suicide attempts), and psychological characteristics (e.g., emotion dysregulation, symptom severity) will predict who experiences a decrease in suicidal ideation following the use of Crisis Response Planning and emotion regulation strategies.
- (Exploratory): Individuals who utilize their Crisis Response Planning more frequently and perceive Crisis Response Planning as more effective will be more likely to engage in mental health treatment at follow-up.

Experimental: Crisis Response Plan and Lethal Means Counseling
All participants will complete a narrative suicide risk assessment, collaboratively develop a Crisis Response Plan, and receive lethal means counseling.
The Crisis Response Plan will include the following sections: (1) identifying personal warning signs for suicide; (2) identifying self-regulation strategies for reducing emotional distress; (3) identifying reasons for living; (4) identifying sources of social support; and (5) accessing professional crisis services.
Participants will handwrite the plan on an index card, sheet of paper, or another similar medium.
After completing the Crisis Response Planning, researchers will conduct lethal means counseling to develop a plan for restricting or limiting access to potentially lethal methods of suicide.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Suicidal Ideation - Ecological Momentary Assessment
Time Frame: Change over 28 consecutive days
|
Participants are asked a series of six questions assessing current suicidal ideation.
Scores range from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicative of more severe suicidal ideation.

Change over 28 consecutive days

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Scale for Suicide Ideation
Time Frame: baseline, 1,2,3,6,9, and 12 months after baseline
|
The Scale for Suicide Ideation is a 21-item self-report measure of past-week or worse-points suicidal ideation.
The minimum score is 0, and the maximum score is 42.
Higher scores are indicative of more severe suicidal ideation.
