Telehealth to Improve Prevention of Suicide (TIPS)

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: No

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 32406

Sponsor: University of Massachusetts, Worcester

Summary

The study will rigorously evaluate whether synchronous, within-visit telemental health evaluation and intervention services can successfully overcome poor access to behavioral health and substandard suicide-related care in emergency departments (EDs), including evaluating the impact on system metrics, a primary goal of RFA-MH-20-226. Notably, the study will surpass this primary requirement, because it will extend understanding of the relative added value of the ED-SAFE post-visit telephone intervention and will create knowledge about key factors related to implementation and sustainment.
