Detailed Description

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

This is a prospective pilot RCT that will evaluate the impact of suicide prevention gatekeeper training (Pharm-SAVES) on 150 pharmacy staff member communication behaviors (primary outcome). Data will be collected at baseline, immediately after training is completed, and at 1-month follow up. Data sources include simulated patient observations (to rate quality of communication) and survey data (for self-reports of knowledge, self-efficacy, and referral behaviors).

Pharm-SAVES

This is an approximately 30-minute self-guided online module that covers basic information about suicide prevention gatekeeper skills training that is relevant to community pharmacists.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Pharm-SAVES

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A 30 minute long online module with videos and didactic content that covers the following topics: warning signs of suicide, how to ask a patient if they are contemplating suicide, and how to refer a patient to the Crisis Line. Three videos model patient scenarios of suicidal behavior in pharmacy settings including the pharmacy drive through, over the phone, and in person. Participants will receive continuing education credits (CEUs) (0.1 CEUs) for completing the course.

Interactive video case

An approximately 30-minute self-guided online suicide prevention gatekeeper skills training module, plus two approximately 5-minute interactive video cases in which participants are asked to respond to patients who exhibit suicidal warning signs.
