Study Summary
Although there exist interventions that therapeutically impact suicide risk, the connection of individuals at elevated suicide risk to mental health care services remains an ongoing challenge. One persistent barrier to mental health service utilization is help-seeking stigma-that is, having negative beliefs about the implications of seeking help for mental health problems (e.g., "Seeking help means that I am weak"). Thus, to enhance mental health service use among at-risk individuals, efforts are needed to target help-seeking stigma. Preliminary data from our research group indicate that a novel computerized intervention based on cognitive therapy principles can demonstrably reduce help-seeking stigma and increase connection to care among young adults with untreated psychiatric disorders. However, this intervention has not been tested among individuals who are currently experiencing suicidal ideation and are not engaged in mental health treatment. Testing the efficacy of this computerized intervention among young adults at increased risk for suicide is necessary to address the unique challenge of linking at-risk individuals to potentially life-saving treatments. To this end, this study aims to test the efficacy of a brief web-based intervention, cognitive bias modification for help-seeking stigma (CBM-HS), designed to increase mental health help-seeking intentions and behaviors. A total of 78 young adults with current suicidal ideation who are not currently in treatment and who report elevated levels of help-seeking stigma will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (1) CBM-HS; (2) CBM-Placebo (i.e., a sham CBM condition analogous to a placebo pill in a pharmaceutical trial); or (3) psychoeducation. Participants will complete assessments at baseline, mid-intervention, post-intervention, and 2-month follow-up to determine the efficacy of CBM-HS in: (a) modifying stigma-related cognitions around mental health help-seeking and service use and (b) increasing t
