Summary

This study is testing an app called Jaspr that helps teens and young adults with suicidal thoughts create a safety plan and learn coping skills. The app includes videos and tools for teens, parents, and healthcare providers. Researchers want to see if using the app improves how well teens cope, how confident parents feel, and how prepared providers are to help. The study will compare usual care alone to usual care plus the app in 60 participants.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Jaspr app (digital safety planning and coping skills tool)
What this could lead to
If it works, this app could give teens and families practical tools to manage suicidal thoughts and improve communication with healthcare providers.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app is a support tool, not a replacement for professional care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Youth Inclusion Criteria: * Age 13 -21 years, an Ask Suicide Questions (ASQ) screen score of 1-5 with active ideation (not solely a history of a prior attempt) but no current plan or intent, or patient-reported suicidal thoughts and behaviors during a clinical assessment in a medical setting who are judged by a clinician to be appropriate for conducting higher level assessment in that setting (including a BSSA and/or safety planning) in order to support care at home. * Parents/guardians: One "parent" per AYA will also be invited to participate. * HCPs: All HCPs in participating settings who may conduct assessments of SI and safety planning (physicians, nurse practitioners/physician's assistants, social workers, mental health counselors, psychologists) will be invited to participate. * All subjects must have access to the internet and a computer or tablet device.
