Brief Summary

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

This initial study is a pilot feasibility study with a primary objective of assessing the feasibility of a larger study by evaluating the procedures and methodology, as well as collecting pilot data. The eventual research goal is to demonstrate whether a suicide prevention video in addition to standard care for suicidality is an effective strategy to reduce suicidal behaviours in individuals with a history of such. The suicide prevention video is developed as an educational tool to inform participants of the various consequences of suicide as well as giving a message of hope. It is hoped that such an approach will help to reduce future suicidal behaviours in those who have a history of such. If so, then this could be made as a part of the standard of care in treating patients with suicidality.

Detailed Description

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

This pilot study will assess the study procedures and methodology to determine the feasibility of a larger study that will be done to asses for any difference in suicidal behaviours when the suicide prevention video is used in addition to standard of care. As such, the primary objectives will include:

* Testing of recruitment, retention, consent, and assignment procedures
* Validating the inclusion/exclusion criteria
* Determining the acceptability and safety of the proposed intervention
* Evaluating implementation procedures and methodology for the intervention
* Evaluating the appropriateness of timing and frequency of data collection points
* Evaluating the appropriateness and feasibility of the assessment tools
* Obtaining parameters for sample size estimation for the larger study
* Assessing the effectiveness of the video medium, content in the video and length of the video
