Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To address the unmet need of optimizing the treatment and management for adolescent suicidality, the investigators propose to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of telehealth services compared to inpatient and OCIC for suicidal adolescents in target population. To achieve this goal, the investigators propose a multi- site study to compare telehealth, OCIC, and inpatient care, and see which can lead to a lower risk of a suicidal event (primary outcome) as well as higher treatment satisfaction (TS) and satisfaction with life (SL) (secondary outcomes) of both the legal guardians/parents and patients.

Detailed Description

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

The investigators have proposed an observational design. Eligible individuals will be identified during a crisis assessment, either in the emergency department or during an emergency phone or telehealth assessment. Once the individual has been assessed and assigned to the clinician for treatment, study staff will assess if the patient is appropriate for the study using the study eligibility criteria. Individuals who receive treatment in one of the following treatment arms will be eligible for this observation study: inpatient, in-person OCIC or telehealth crisis intervention service. Eligible individuals will be contacted by study staff to introduce and offer the study. If patient and guardian agree, they will complete surveys at baseline and every 2 weeks for 6 months to evaluate outcomes.
