Evaluation of a Brief, Scalable Module to Mitigate Suicidal Ideation Among Youth (Phase 2)

This project embeds the "Give to Others" (GO) talk therapy module in a standard, outpatient therapy protocol to demonstrate target engagement in the context of ongoing clinical care and testing the ability of the GO module to engage the target in a rigorous randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the intervention. We will target perceived burdensomeness (PB) among 80 clinic-referred youths (ages 12-17) who experience subacute suicidal ideation (SI; i.e., positive suicide risk screen; stable safety status).

Inclusion Criteria Adolescents must: * be between ages 12 and 17 years * score at or above the clinical cutoff on the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale * score at or above 4 on the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire- Burdensomeness Scale * have a positive screen for suicide risk (i.e., endorsement of suicidal ideation via self-report) * be fluent in English and have available a parent who is fluent in English or Spanish Exclusion Criteria For adolescents to be excluded, they must: * have cognitive impairment or developmental delay which does not allow for the completion of basic study procedures (i.e., reading and filling out questionnaires; talking to a clinician) * show imminent risk or a history of hurting themselves or others requiring intensive and restrictive services * be involved currently in a psychosocial treatment
