What the study is about

The primary aim of this project are to evaluate a comprehensive, practice-ready, and deployment-focused strategy for improving the prediction and prevention of suicide attempts among a sample of 4,000 patients presenting to an ED with a psychiatric concern. The first aim is to evaluate the effects of providing information about risk of patient suicidal behavior to ED clinicians. The investigators hypothesize that patients randomly assigned to have their clinician receive their risk score will have a lower rate of suicide attempts during 6-month follow-up and that this effect will be mediated by changes in clinician decision-making.

Being studied: Clinician Decision Support Tool

Conditions: Suicide; Suicide, Attempted
