Trial Outcomes & Findings for Southwest Hub for American Indian Youth Suicide Prevention Research (NCT NCT03543865)

NCT ID: NCT03543865

Last Updated: 2026-01-23

Results Overview

The SIQ for adults (ages \>14; 27 items) and SIQ-Junior for youth (ages ≤14; 13 items). Both measure frequency of suicidal thoughts on a 7-point Likert scale (0=Never to 6=Almost Every Day). Raw scores range from 0-162 (SIQ) and 0-78 (SIQ-JR); higher raw scores indicate greater suicidal ideation. Raw scores of ≥30 on the SIQ and ≥23 on the SIQ-JR indicate clinically severe suicidal ideation. To create comparable scores across age groups, raw scores were converted to z-scores based on the study sample's baseline distribution, calculated separately for adults and youth using their respective scale versions. A constant of 10 was added to all z-scores to facilitate interpretation. Interpretation of Z-scores: * Each unit change represents one standard deviation from the sample * Z-scores \>10 indicate above-average suicidal ideation (worse outcome) * Z-scores \<10 indicate below-average suicidal ideation (better outcome) A Z-score of 0 represents the population mean

N=304 participants were consented, N=284 completed baseline

N=284 participants completed baseline data and were randomized to the study arms. The participants who were not randomized were marked lost to follow-up if staff could not contact them further, or withdrawn if they requested to withdraw from the study.

Measure
New Hope (NH)
n=71 Participants
The investigators will employ a SMART design to evaluate the effectiveness of New Hope (NH), Elders' Resilience intervention (ER), Case Management (CM) and the combination of these approaches on reducing suicidal thoughts and promoting resilience among AI youth ages 10-24 who are confirmed by surveillance case managers to have recently experienced suicide ideation, attempt or a binge substance use and ideation. Youth who assent will complete the baseline (CM visit 1 and will be referred to mental health care). During the same visit, youth will be randomized 1:1 to either New Hope (NH) plus Case Management (CM), or CM alone, using a blocked randomized design, stratifying participants by age and event type.
Elders' Resiliency (ER)
n=68 Participants
The investigators will employ a SMART design to evaluate the effectiveness of New Hope (NH), Elders' Resilience intervention (ER), Case Management (CM) and the combination of these approaches on reducing suicidal thoughts and promoting resilience among AI youth ages 10-24 who are confirmed by surveillance case managers to have recently experienced suicide ideation, attempt or a binge substance use and ideation. All youth will complete another study assessment after 30 days. The 30-day time frame will allow ample time to complete the NH intervention with participants and assess any changes in youth's mental health status for all study arms. Following another 30-day period, all participants will be re-assessed and re-randomized, using the same blocking and 1:1 ratio to either the Elders' Resilience (ER) intervention plus CM, or CM alone. To track long term outcomes, all youth will complete a final assessment 3 month later (6 months post-enrollment).

Population: Participants with data collected

Resilience Scales for Children and Adolescents (RSCA), adapted and validated with community input. The RSCA measures 3 domains of resilience using a 4-point Likert scale (0=Not at All, 1=A little bit, 2=A medium amount, 3=A lot): * Sense of Mastery: 20 items assessing self-efficacy and control (range: 0-60; higher better) * Sense of Relatedness: 18 items assessing trust and support from relationships (range: 0-54; higher better) * Emotional Reactivity: 24 items assessing vulnerability to stress and negative emotions (range: 0-72; lower better) 1. Items are summed within each subscale 2. Mastery and Relatedness subscales are summed to create a Resource Index (range: 0-114) 3. The Total Resilience Score is calculated as: Resource Index minus Emotional Reactivity Total Resilience Score Range: -72 to 114 Interpretation: * Higher scores indicate greater resilience (better outcome) * Better scores reflect more personal and relational resources combined with lower emotional vulnerab

Population: Participants with data collected

The Centers for Epidemiologic Studies of Depression (CESDR-10) is a self-report scale used to measure depressive symptoms (Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.90 to 0.91 in a validation study). Scores on the CESDR-10 range from 0 (minimum) to 40 (maximum) with higher scores representing higher frequency of experiencing depression symptoms. CESDR-10 score is summed to provide an overall total for each participant. The full version has been widely used among adolescent and AI populations, including Apache youth.

Population: Participants with data collected

Children's Hope Scale, a 6-item measure assessing goal-directed thinking and pathways to achieve goals. Items are rated on a 6-point Likert scale (0=None of the time to 5=All of the time). Scoring Method: The total Hope Score is calculated by summing all 6 items. Score Range: 0 to 30 Interpretation: * Higher scores indicate greater hope (better outcome) * Lower scores indicate lower hope (worse outcome)

During the same visit, youth will be randomized 1:1 to either New Hope (NH) plus Case Management (CM), or CM alone, using a blocked randomized design, stratifying participants by age and event type. All youth will complete another study assessment after 30 days.After another 30-days, all participants will be re-assessed/re-randomized, using the same blocking and 1:1 ratio to either the ER intervention plus CM, or CM alone.

Multicultural Mastery Scale, an adapted version measuring problem-solving through social networks across three domains: Mastery-Friends (4 items), Mastery-Family (4 items), and Mastery-Self (5 items), totaling 13 items. Items were assessed using either a slider scale (0-100) recoded to a 5-point scale, or a 3-point scale (0=Not at all, 1=Somewhat, 2=A lot) rescaled to a 5-point format. The final scoring uses a 5-point scale where each item ranges from 0 to 4. Scoring Method: The total Communal Mastery Score is calculated by summing all 13 items. Score Range: 0 to 52 Interpretation: * Higher scores indicate a stronger sense of mastery and control (better outcome) * Lower scores indicate lower mastery (worse outcome)

Population: Restricted to participants who reported alcohol use at baseline. This outcome measures reduction in existing alcohol use among current users. Non-users were excluded as the intervention targets harm reduction rather than prevention of initiation.

The World Health Organization (WHO) Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) is a questionnaire that screens for all levels of problem or risky substance use in adults. A risk score can be provided for each substance, and scores are grouped into low risk (0-10 for alcohol), moderate risk (11-26 for alcohol) or high risk (27 or higher for alcohol). The score range is 0-39. Higher score worse risk.
