Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to increase use and availability, as well as assess the feasibility of the ReliefLink (RL) application for use in conjunction with standard care to promote psychological health and prevent suicidal behavior.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aims of this study of ReliefLink application are to determine the utility of ReliefLink self-reports of suicidal ideation, negative emotions, loneliness, subjective well-being, flourishing, mental toughness, positive emotions, learned optimism, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. Additional aims are to evaluate the impact of ReliefLink on perceived access to/usage of care and resources and to explore participant acceptance of ReliefLink as a technological support for standard treatment through human systems engineering of treatment plan adherence and user interview.
