Summary

This trial tests whether an 8-week mobile health program called MindBridge, delivered through a WeChat mini-program and based on dialectical behavior therapy, can reduce suicide-related thoughts and behaviors in Chinese young adults aged 18 to 24 who are at mild-to-moderate risk. Participants are randomly assigned to receive MindBridge plus usual care or a general well-being program plus usual care. The study measures changes in suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, sleep, and other factors over the intervention and a month after.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
MindBridge, an 8-week mobile health intervention delivered via a WeChat mini-program, based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), added to treatment as usual.
What this could lead to
If effective, MindBridge could offer a scalable, accessible digital tool to help reduce suicide-related thoughts and behaviors in young adults.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (84 participants) with a behavioral intervention, so results may not generalize. The app is an add-on, not a replacement for standard care, and its benefits are uncertain.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: Aged 18-24 years. Mild-to-moderate suicide risk, defined as a Suicide and Self-Injury Behavior Inventory (SSBI) past-year or recent suicide-related or self-harm composite score of 17-51. Able to understand the study procedures and complete questionnaires independently. Own a smartphone and are able to use WeChat and the relevant study application. Able and willing to provide voluntary informed consent. Have not participated in earlier phases of this research. Exclusion Criteria: Current acute suicide crisis requiring immediate clinical intervention, operationally defined as a Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) ideation level of 4-5 and/or recent suicidal behavior (any actual, aborted, or interrupted attempt or preparatory act within the past month), assessed at screening/baseline. Serious physical illness or other condition that, in the judgment of the research or clinical safety team, makes participation inappropriate. Currently receiving intensive psychiatric crisis intervention that would make trial participation unsafe. Expected to be unable to complete the 8-week intervention or 1-month follow-up.
