Study Summary

Suicide is a major public health problem. Although inpatient treatment provides immediate stabilization and crisis management, the risk of suicide post-discharge is substantial. Approximately one third of all suicides by individuals with mental disorders occur in the 90 days following hospitalization. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to reduce both suicidal ideation and behavior in outpatients. However, to date, the efficacy of inpatient CBT for suicide prevention is not clear. This study aims to 1) develop and implement a brief CBT treatment for suicide prevention for inpatients, 2) conduct a brief feasibility test and collect initial pilot data on efficacy, and 3) collect preliminary data on the effects of CBT on implicit cognitive suicide associations. In Phase 1, the investigators will work with an expert in CBT for suicide prevention to modify his treatment protocol for use with inpatients, and meet with this expert for a 2-day protocol training. In Phase 2, the investigators will conduct an initial feasibility trial with 5-10 inpatients recruited from the Institute of Living inpatient units. Participants will be recruited within 24 hrs of admission or later and will provide written informed consent prior to any study procedures. Enrolled participants will undergo a clinical assessment by an independent evaluator (IE) that will include diagnostic/symptom assessments, assessment of suicide risk using the Columbia-Suicide Rating Scale, and an implicit association test (IAT). Participants will receive up to 10 daily sessions of CBT (depending on length of stay), lasting 1 hour, following the manualized protocol developed in Phase 1. Participants will then meet with the IE again for reassessment after the 10th session or within 24 hr prior to discharge, whichever comes first. After discharge, participants will have a telephone interview at 1 month, 2 month, and 3 month follow-up. The IE will administer the C-SSRS during these calls. The proposed st
