Study Details

This study will test Flourish, a digital suicide prevention intervention for cyberbullied youth, within schools. Specifically, the study aims to: 1. Examine if Flourish is effective and can be feasibly delivered within schools among middle and high school students who are experiencing cyberbullying and suicide risk factors. Feasibility will be evidenced by recruitment and retention rates to the study (\> or = 80%) and use of Flourish at least weekly among 80% of youth. Effectiveness will be evidenced by students reporting improvements in psychological distress and suicidal thoughts over the 3-month follow-up period. 2.
