Pragmatic trial of a targeted digital intervention for youth with suicidal thoughts and behaviours attending outpatient care [ 7/1/2021 - 6/30/2026 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Existing programs aiming to reduce suicide ideation in youth often fail to impart lasting benefits in helping young people stay well. Our team have developed an online social media-based intervention (called Affinity) that addresses limitations of past programs by allowing 24/7 access to digital therapy, alongside therapist and peer support. This trial will aim to uncover whether Affinity is effective in reducing suicide ideation in young people, relative to a control program.
