A research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to test a brief, scalable therapy module aimed at reducing suicidal ideation among youth aged 12 to 17 with anxiety or depression through clinical trials.
Description
This project aims to test a brief therapy to reduce suicidal ideation among youths aged 12 to 17 experiencing anxiety or depression. The study involves conducting two clinical trials to evaluate the therapy's effectiveness in reducing suicidal ideation and related beliefs, such as perceived burdensomeness. The intervention is designed to be scalable, resource-efficient, and easily integrated with standard therapies, addressing critical gaps in youth mental health support.
