Study Details

This study will adapt and evaluate an evidence-based suicide risk screening and follow-up program in two school-based health centers in West Virginia. The suicide screening program is titled the "NIMH Clinical Pathway" and provides tools and procedures for routinely screening adolescents for suicide risk, completing risk assessments, safety planning, lethal means restriction, follow-up referrals, and other disposition planning as appropriate. Investigators aim to do the following: 1. Gather formative data from providers, parents, and youth to inform ways to adapt and implement the NIMH Clinical Pathway so that it can be effectively implemented in rural, Appalachian School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs). 2. Gather preliminary data regarding the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the adapted intervention.
