Summary

This pilot study tests a mobile app called MIST designed to reduce suicidal thoughts in veterans. The app uses techniques to change unhelpful beliefs linked to suicide. Fifty veterans with recent suicidal thoughts will try the app alongside their usual care, and researchers will check if it's easy to use and acceptable.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Mobile Intervention for Suicidal Thoughts (MIST) app
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a convenient, app-based tool to help veterans manage suicidal thoughts between therapy sessions.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (50 people) focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. The app may not reduce suicidal thoughts, and results may not apply to non-veterans.
