ASAP + BRITE + TAU (Treatment as Usual)
Participants in this arm receive the ASAP (As Safe As Possible) intervention, during their transition from inpatient to outpatient care, as well as the BRITE smart phone app for distress tolerance/emotion regulation and safety planning. Participants will also receive usual treatment protocols that all adolescents admitted to their respective Inpatient Psychiatry program receive. Participants complete paper safety plans as part of their regular treatment, which is a standard of care for suicidal youth.
ASAP (As Safe As Possible): ASAP (As Safe As Possible) is a brief intervention for adolescents hospitalized for suicide risk that focuses on the development of a safety plan, teaching emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, along with 1-2 post-discharge follow-up calls to encourage adherence to use of the safety plan and to outpatient treatment.
BRITE smart phone app: BRITE is a smart phone app that aims to support daily emotion regulation and a safety plan that is personalized to the needs and preferences of each adolescent.
TAU (treatment as usual): TAU (treatment as usual) is the standard treatment that all adolescents admitted to their respective Inpatient Psychiatry Program receive.
