Summary

This study tested a Safety Planning Intervention (SPI) for 800 pretrial jail detainees at risk for suicide. Participants were randomly assigned to standard care or SPI, which involves creating a personalized list of coping strategies and supports during jail, plus follow-up calls after release. The goal was to see if SPI reduces suicide attempts, hospitalizations, and deaths in the year following release.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Safety Planning Intervention (a brief counseling session to create a personalized list of coping strategies and supports for suicidal crises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective, low-cost way to reduce suicide attempts and deaths among people leaving jail.
What could go wrong
This is a completed trial, but results may not apply to all jail populations or settings. The intervention relies on follow-up, which can be hard to maintain after release.
