Real-time Examination of Skills and Coping Use in Teen's Everyday Lives
NCT06720753 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two core intervention skills among adolescents with a history of engaging in at least 3 lifetime incidents of self-inflicted injury (SII), at least one of which was a suicide attempt of at least moderate lethality and moderate intent to die. The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether and when youth use skills in daily life, how quickly skill use declines after teaching, and whether exposure to life stress influences skill learning and retention. The Investigators also want to know whether brain-related, family-related, and physiology-related factors influence skills practice and any associated changes in self-harm/suicide risk and emotion dysregulation. Participants will complete surveys 5 times a day on their phones at baseline, and following each skill learning session. All participants will learn and practice the two skills with a parent while discussing topics they often argue about. During these discussions, participants will be hooked up to psychophysiological equipment to measure their cardiovascular functioning and their palm sweat. Participants' discussions will be coded for skill use and also for indices of family functioning. Approximately half of the participants will undergo two sets of fMRI scans to assess potential neural underpinnings of skill use.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06720753
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06720753 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 200 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Utah, which has 686 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Suicide appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Opposite to emotion action is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06720753 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Utah. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
