En pilotevaluering af en digital peer-støtteintervention til selvmordstruede unge (SWEEP)
Suicide risk has increased among youth in underserved communities, where access to mental healthcare is limited. To address this need, the investigator team plans to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of a brief, low-cost, culturally responsive digital intervention for ethnically diverse youth at risk for suicide in The Bronx, New York. In collaboration with community stakeholders, suicide recovery narratives, featuring adolescents' experiences related to recovery from suicidal thoughts will be developed. A smartphone ecological momentary assessment (EMA) app will be used to evaluate whether a curriculum of these narratives provides anti-suicidal benefits to at-risk adolescents.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
This is a single-arm investigation of a novel suicide prevention intervention, called "Supporting Wellbeing with Everyday Experiences of Peers" (SWEEP). In a preliminary phase (Phase 1) of the study, suicide recovery narratives: short first-person stories about lived experience with and recovery from Bronx Adolescents will be collected. The investigator team will then evaluate evaluate the anti-suicidal benefits of this intervention in a single-arm trial. In a subsequent phase (Phase 2), adolescent participants (n=46) will be provided with the SWEEP intervention, which involves reading or listening to one suicide recovery narrative each day during the 14-day trial. Six of the 46 participants will be adolescents, with recent suicidal thoughts or depression, who are currently receiving mental healthcare in Montefiore's Outpatient Psychiatry Department, rather than those on the waitlist to receive these services. All six participants will then complete a post-intervention qualitative interview to inform potential changes to intervention procedures. During this second phase, suicide recovery narratives will be provided, in audio and text formats, via a smartphone app. That same smartphone app will also collect real-time (ecological momentary) assessments of suicidal thoughts, as well as secondary and additional outcomes, five times per day. The investigator team will evaluate whether participants experience reductions in the intensity of suicidal thoughts over the course of the 14-day trial. During Phase 3, participants will be recruited to a control condition (n=15) and a treatment condition (n=30). Those in the Phase 3 treatment condition will receive the same intervention (1 SWEEP narrative per day for 14 days + 3x/day EMA) as those in Phase 2. Those in the Control condition will receive 3x/day EMA only.
A recent amendment approved by the IRB decreased the maximum response time for follow-up after participants report an adverse event from 24 hours to 12 hours.

Eksperimentel: Intervention
This is a single-arm study. All participants will be allocated to the intervention arm, in which they will receive the digital narrative therapy. |
Each day during a 14-day trial period, participants will receive one narrative featuring lived experience with and recovery from suicidal thoughts and behaviors. These narratives will be presented in audio and text format via a smartphone app. Participants will also complete self-report surveys assessing study outcomes using the same smartphone app five times per day.

Intervention Acceptability
Tidsramme: Study conclusion (at the end of the 14-day trial)
|
Participants will self-report their current perception of acceptability of the SWEEP intervention across three items. Participants will rate the usefulness of receiving the narratives using a 7-point Likert-type scale, with higher scores indicating that the narratives were more useful. Participants will rate the difficulty of reading or listening to the narratives each day using a 7-point Likert-type scale, with higher scores indicating that the narratives were more difficult to read or listen to. This item will be reverse coded. Participants will rate how willing they are to recommend the narratives to their peers using a 7-point Likert-type scale, with higher scores indicating greater willingness to recommend the narratives. Each of these items will be evaluated in isolation, as well as in aggregate using both summation and an arithmetic mean score. |

Emotions
Tidsramme: 5 times per day during 14-day trial
|
Participants will self-report the current intensity of 10 emotions: excited, guilty, scared, proud, irritated, ashamed, inspired, nervous, determined, angry. Each emotion will be rated on an 11-point Likert-type scale with higher scores indicating more intense emotion. Each of these items will be evaluated in isolation, as well as in aggregate using arithmetic mean. For aggregating an overall emotion score, the positive emotions excited, proud, inspired, and determined will be reverse-scored to provide an aggregate rating of negative emotion. |
