Brief Summary: One of the factors that contributes to suicide risk is what is known as a suicidal belief system This belief system is made up of several cognitions that been associated with suicide risk among military personnel Modification of these cognitions may reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors The study team has developed a brief mobile intervention entitled the Mobile Intervention for Suicidal Thoughts MIST that uses evidence-based interpretation bias modification techniques to reduce these suicide cognitions The goal of this project is to is to conduct a pilot trial of the MIST intervention to evaluate whether it is feasible an acceptable as an adjunct treatment for Veterans with suicidal ideation
Detailed Description: One of the factors that contributes to suicide risk is what is known as a suicidal belief system This belief system is made up of several cognitions including hopelessness thwarted belongingness perceived burdensomeness unlovability unbearability and unsolvability These cognitions have all been associated with suicide risk among military personnel Modification of these cognitions may reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors The study team has developed a brief mobile intervention entitled the Mobile Intervention for Suicidal Thoughts MIST that uses evidence-based interpretation bias modification techniques to reduce these suicide cognitions The goal of this project is to is to conduct a pilot trial of the MIST intervention to evaluate whether it is feasible an acceptable as an adjunct treatment for Veterans with suicidal ideation
The investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial RCT in which 50 Veterans with suicidal ideation will be randomized to either MIST plus Treatment as Usual and Safety Planning versus Treatment as Usual and Safety Planning The central hypothesis is that Veterans will find MIST acceptable and will be willing to use it to reduce their suicidal thoughts
