What this Trial Is About
This is a second pilot study being completed based on lessons learned from the Aim 2a feasibility pilot study (NCT06941311). Following modifications, the investigators are testing the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary effectiveness of the combination of two psychosocial interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP) and the computer-assisted version of the Youth-Nominated Support Team (eYST). In this phase of the study, CBT-SP + eYST will be tested in an open trial (number of youth = 15). Investigators will recruit Black adolescents (ages 12-17) that come to an urban acute care setting for suicidal thoughts and/or self-injurious behaviors to receive the intervention in an outpatient community mental health agency. Participants will receive 12-14 sessions of CBT-SP in addition to YST. Participants will nominate up to 5 caring adults in their lives to serve as support persons. These support persons will attend an education/orientation session to learn more about their role and how to support the youth. Support persons will have weekly contact with the youth and weekly follow up contacts from the youth's clinician/YST intervention specialist. Youth will be assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, and 14 weeks. Parents will be assessed at baseline and 14 weeks. Support persons will be assessed at baseline and 14 weeks. Fidelity assessments will be completed by clinicians after each session, after the YST psycho-ed session, and weekly to document contact with the support team.
