Developing Adaptive Interventions for Suicidal College Students Seeking Treatment - SMART
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Stage 1 Treatment as usual (TAU), Stage 1 CAMS, and 2 other interventions for Suicide. Completed, enrolled 62 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This pilot study tested the feasibility of utilizing an adaptive intervention strategy for college students who are suicidal when first seeking treatment at a campus clinic. Right now, the typical strategy may rely on a "one size fits all" approach, but in fact suicidal students vary greatly on what and how much they need. This study will pave the way for subsequent larger trials for clinical decision making (trying one approach, and if that doesn't work, another) to be empirically developed and tested in a subsequent large-scale multisite trial with the goal of maximizing resources in overburdened college counseling centers. This pilot study followed by a subsequent large-scale trial could eventually significantly impact service delivery to suicidal college students at college counseling centers.
