Kuurojen KKT-TS itsemurhariskin vähentämiseksi

perjantai 30. lokakuuta 2026 päivittänyt: Aileen Aldalur, University of Rochester

Kognitiivis-behavioraalinen terapia hoidon hakemiseksi parantaakseen hoidon sitoutumista ja vähentääkseen itsemurhariskiä kuurojen henkilöiden keskuudessa

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a short, Zoom-based intervention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Treatment-Seeking for Deaf Individuals (Deaf CBT-TS) can change beliefs about mental health treatment and increase treatment-seeking behaviors in Deaf adults with untreated mental health or alcohol use problems. It will also see if Deaf CBT-TS may reduce suicide risk and explore factors that may increase the effectiveness of Deaf CBT-TS. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does Deaf CBT-TS increase positive beliefs about treatment and increase treatment-seeking behaviors?
  • Does Deaf CBT-TS increase hope and reduce mental health symptoms, suicide ideation, and alcohol use?
  • Is Deaf CBT-TS more effective for individuals with less cultural stress compared to those with high levels of cultural stress?
  • Is Deaf CBT-TS more effective for Deaf individuals in residential areas with more Deaf resources than those with less Deaf resources? Researchers will compare individuals who complete Deaf CBT-TS to those on a waitlist to see if Deaf CBT-TS works to increase positive beliefs about treatment and treatment-seeking behaviors.

Participants will:

  • Complete a baseline assessment including demographic information, measures of hope, general mental health and functioning, alcohol use, suicide ideation, cultural stress, and beliefs about treatment.
  • Receive Deaf CBT-TS (2 sessions) or be placed on a waitlist with the option of receiving Deaf CBT-Ts after 4 months
  • Complete two follow-up assessments in 2 and 4 months.

Tutkimuksen yleiskatsaus

Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus

The proposed project is a two-arm randomized controlled trial of a zoom-based intervention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Treatment-Seeking for Deaf Individuals (Deaf CBT-TS) vs. a waitlist control, with follow-up at 2 and 4 months to assess the intervention's ability to modify beliefs about treatment (intervention principles) and increase treatment-seeking behaviors (target mechanism), as well as explore its potential to increase hope and reduce indicators of suicide risk. The investigators will also examine factors that may impact the efficacy of the intervention including levels of Deaf acculturative stress and subject residential location (Rochester, access to URMC resources vs. other locations across the U.S. with less Deaf resources). Subjects are 110 Deaf adults who report American Sign Language as their primary method of communication, have clinically significant symptoms of a mental health disorder (depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, or alcohol use disorder), and are not engaged in professional mental health or alcohol specialty treatment (e.g., counseling, psychiatric services). The investigators will oversample subjects with recent suicide ideation (50%). Half of the subjects will be recruited from Rochester and the other half nationally. The Specific Aims include (1) to test whether Deaf CBT-TS engages the intervention principles and target mechanism (co-primary outcomes: changes in behavioral, normative, and control beliefs about treatment; and initiation of professional treatment); (2) to explore changes in hope and reductions in indicators of suicide risk (mental health symptoms, alcohol use, and severity of suicide ideation); and (3) to identify factors that could impact the efficacy of Deaf CBT-TS (Deaf acculturative stress and residential location).

Subjects will complete a baseline assessment including demographic information, measures of Deaf acculturative stress, hope, general mental health and functioning, alcohol use, suicide ideation, and beliefs about treatment. Subjects who complete the baseline assessment will be randomized to Deaf CBT-TS or a waitlist control, using stratified randomization based on sex assigned at birth, prior suicide attempt, and residential location (Rochester vs. other U.S. locations). During study assessments, all subjects will receive suicide risk assessments using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), with actions commensurate with risk level, and a list of Deaf crisis intervention resources. The study coordinator will review each resource on the list and explain how to use them. Study conditions are Deaf CBT-TS (2 sessions) and waitlist control. Deaf CBT-TS involves 2 intervention sessions lasting up to 90 minutes each. The follow-up assessments (2 and 4 months) include the baseline measures of hope, general mental health and functioning, alcohol use, suicide ideation, and beliefs about treatment, as well as a treatment utilization survey to assess the subjects' use of professional mental health and alcohol specialty treatment since their last study visit. Subjects in the waitlist control group who have not engaged in professional mental health or alcohol treatment will be offered the Deaf CBT-TS intervention after their 4-month follow-up assessment.

Ei väliintuloa: Waitlist Control Group

During study assessments, subjects will receive a suicide risk assessment, with actions commensurate with risk level, and a list of Deaf crisis intervention resources with instructions provided on how to use them. The list of resources contains crisis hotlines that are accessible for Deaf individuals including text-based options (e.g., Crisis Text line, 988 text number) and options to talk with counselors in ASL (e.g., 988 ASL services, DeafLEAd Crisis Line). The study coordinator will review each resource and explain their use. Subjects will be emailed this list of resources after their assessment. Other brief interventions that could be provided based on subject presentation include encouraging subjects to seek social support and share their thoughts with others; elicitation of coping strategies; and lethal means safety planning.

Kokeellinen: Deaf CBT-TS Intervention Group

Intervention Group

Deaf CBT-TS is a two-session (90 minutes each) Zoom-based intervention designed to target a change in the beliefs that influence whether or not someone initiates mental health treatment. The intervention works by modifying problematic beliefs, providing accurate information about treatment, and problem-solving barriers. The first session is structured in four phases: (1) history of symptoms and current functioning, (2) coping strategies, (3) evaluation and modification of treatment beliefs using CBT strategies, and (4) action planning. Subjects are provided a list of resources for seeking treatment, as well as a personalized search of treatment options (conducted by the interventionist) in their area based on their insurance and language preference. The second session occurs within 3 weeks and is designed to check in with subjects regarding progress on their action plan, provide assistance in identifying treatment options, and problem-solve barriers

Hope
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 2-months follow-up

Hope will be assessed via the Beck Hopelessness Scale. The scale has 20 items scored as True or False. Scores of 1 or 0 are assigned to each item depending on the subject's response and the directionality of the item. The scores are summed with for a total score ranging from 0 - 20 and higher scores indicating more hopelessness.

General Mental Health
Aikaikkuna: Baseline to 2-months follow-up

General mental health will be assessed via the PROMIS-29 V2.0. The scale has 29 items divided across 8 subscales. Three of the subscales are focused on general mental health: Anxiety, Depression, and Ability to Participate in Social Roles. These subscales each have four items rated on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much) with higher scores indicating worse mental health functioning. Scores for each of the subscales will be summed and converted to T-scores. The T-scores for the three subscales will then be summed for a total score representing general mental health functioning.
