This study is being completed to examine different combinations of technology-augmented strategies to identify an effective Adaptive intervention (AI) addressing post-discharge suicide risk with high implementation potential.
The proposed study is a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) to identify an effective adaptive intervention (AI) for adolescents at elevated suicide risk transitioning from acute psychiatric care. Participants will be initially randomized to Motivational Interview (MI)-enhanced safety planning (MI-SP) or to MI-SP with supportive text messages delivered for four weeks after discharge (Texts) (Phase 1 intervention). Adolescents who are classified as Phase 1 non-responders at the end of the first or at the end of the second week post-discharge, based on their responses to daily surveys , will be re-randomized to either added booster call or portal follow-up (Phase 2 intervention). Those classified as Phase 1 responders at the end of the second week post discharge will continue with the initially assigned intervention options. Thus, participants will receive one of six treatment sequences resulting from the different intervention components or their combinations. These six treatment sequences, in turn, will form four AIs.
The study team anticipates that AIs that begin with MI-SP plus text-based support will have:
Additionally, the study team anticipates that the AI that begins with MI-SP + Texts followed by portal follow-up for non-responders will lead to:

| MI- Safety Plan | Behavioral | The MI-enhanced safety plan (MI-SP) component is delivered during hospitalization and includes an individual and family meetings. The goal of the individual meeting with the adolescent is to develop an individualized safety plan for use during a suicidal crisis. This "best practices" approach of safety planning is augmented with Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a core strategy to explicitly elicit adolescents' motivation and commitment to behavior change (i.e. use safety plan; adaptive coping), address barriers or ambivalence, and strengthen self-efficacy. The focus of the family meeting, which is similarly guided by MI, is to prepare parents/guardians, with input from the adolescent, for how they may support the adolescent in implementing the individualized safety plan after discharge and on strengthening parents' commitment and self-efficacy |

| MI-SP + monitoring + portal follow-up for non-responders (Sequence E) | Experimental | Sequencing of intervention components (Phase 1 and Phase 2) resulting in Sequence or Group E: Participants will receive the in-person MI-enhanced safety plan (MI-SP) during hospitalization followed by 4 weeks of monitoring post discharge in addition to the portal follow-up for non-responders. |

|
|
| Texts messages | Behavioral | For participants randomized to receive supportive text messages (Texts), text messages will be sent daily for 4 weeks. The messages will be tailored to encourage use of individualized coping strategies identified as part of safety planning at hospitalization and will include additional adaptive coping tools and resources. The text message content and tone will be consistent with principles of MI. |
|
| Monitoring | Behavioral | Adolescent participants will complete daily surveys for 4 weeks (including assessment of suicidal ideation, behavior, and other relevant risk and protective factors) and these will be monitored daily to identify presence of heightened suicidal ideation and presence of suicidal behavior. In addition, daily surveys will be used to determine if adolescents are sufficient responders to Phase 1 intervention. |
|
| Portal follow-up | Behavioral | This will be part of Phase 2. The portal follow-up will similarly address content offered in the booster call. For the adolescent, the focus will be on revisiting and adjusting the safety plan, addressing barriers to safety plan adherence, as well as enhancing motivation and self-efficacy to use healthy coping. For the parent, portal communication will focus on revisiting safety recommendations provided as part of MI-SP, addressing barriers in implementing safety recommendations and in supporting the adolescent's safety plan use, as well as enhancing parents' motivation and self-efficacy in these areas. The portal will enable additional asynchronous contacts up to 3 weeks to provide added support and problem solving, based on identified barriers and concerns, to promote post-discharge behavior change. Counselors will initiate approximately 6 contacts with adolescents and, separately, with parents over 3 weeks as soon as non-response is detected. |
|
| Booster call | Behavioral | The focus of the post-discharge booster phone call with adolescent and with parent, each conducted separately, is to further adjust the safety plan to better meet post-discharge needs, to further enhance adolescents' motivation and commitment to use coping strategies, and to further support adolescents' and parents' self-efficacy to manage suicidal crises. |
|
Suicide ideation will be measured using the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ-JR), a 15-item measure of adolescents' distress and suicidal intent. Scale scores range from 0 to 90, with higher scores meaning a worse outcome (i.e., greater suicide ideation). |
