NCT ID NCT03894462
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study tests a short, three-session therapy program called ASSIP for adults who have attempted suicide within the past 60 days. The therapy helps participants understand the feelings and events leading up to their attempt and create a personalized safety plan. Researchers want to see if this low-cost approach can reduce the chance of another suicide attempt compared to standard care.

Active substance
Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) - a brief, manualized behavioral therapy delivered in three sessions
What this could lead to
If effective, this could provide a practical, low-cost therapy that reduces suicide reattempts in real-world healthcare settings.

This is a single study in one health system, and results may not apply everywhere. The therapy may not work for everyone, and some participants might still attempt suicide.
