Summary

This trial aims to find the best way to provide suicide prevention care to adults in outpatient mental health treatment. It compares two approaches: one where local clinicians get extra tools and support, and another that adds a centralized telehealth team to help with safety planning and follow-up. The study will see which approach leads to fewer suicide attempts and better connection to care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Two behavioral interventions: Local Care Continuity (support for existing clinicians) and Centralized Care Navigation (adding a centralized telehealth team)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify a more effective way to deliver suicide prevention care, potentially reducing suicide attempts and improving patient outcomes on a large scale.
What could go wrong
The trial is large but relies on real-world implementation, which may vary. Results depend on how well the interventions are delivered, and outcomes may not be generalizable to other settings.
