Leveraging Behavioral Economics and Implementation Science to Engage Suicidal Patients in Mental Health Treatment
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Caring Contacts, Reminders, and 2 other interventions for Suicide and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators will identify characteristics of suicidal patients who do or do not attend a first mental health visit following referral using administrative data. Then, the investigators will apply established approaches to contextual inquiry to identify barriers and facilitators to mental health treatment attendance for individuals at risk of suicide. Using established procedures from implementation science and behavioral economics, the investigators will then leverage the insights gleaned from Aims 1 and 2, relevant theories and frameworks, and the extant literature to develop preliminary strategies to support attendance at first mental health visit. Strategies will be developed in collaboration with a team of experts in suicide, implementation science, and behavioral economics. These preliminary strategies will then be iteratively tested and refined. The investigators also will assess putative mechanism using behavioral tasks and self-report tools.
