Detailed Description

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

Participants will be asked to complete 7 brief online modules to cover how to understand emotion-triggered impulsivity, to better detect states of high emotion and arousal, to learn new strategies for self-calming high arousal, and to pre-plan how to cope with high arousal states. As part of the program, participants receive daily texts and prompts to remind them of the intervention content and skills. At baseline and follow-up, participants will complete measures of emotion-related impulsivity, self-harm, and suicidality.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Adult participants will be enrolled in the intervention, and we will use pre-, post-data to evaluate whether the program appears to be helpful. Adolescent participants will be randomly assigned to a waitlist control or intervention; those in the waitlist will be offered the intervention after they complete the waitlist period.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

Interview-based assessments will be conducted by personnel who are unaware of treatment condition.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

Participants will be immediately assigned to the intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Calm program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

7 online modules designed to teach cognitive behavioral skills

Waitlist control

Participants will complete measures before and after a waitlist equivalent to the duration of the intervention, to assess whether change is observed with time and repeated assessment. After the waitlist control, participants will be provided the opportunity to take part in the intervention. In this RDICT design, the pre- post- treatment data will be included in analyses.
