Summary

Study objectives are to design and pilot test a novel, exposure-based implementation strategy (EBIS) directly targeting clinician anxiety and low self-efficacy for use of evidence-based suicide screening, assessment, and intervention (SSAI) strategies with patients at risk for suicide in community settings. Early phases of this study will develop the EBIS in partnership with community clinicians (n = 15). The last phase of this study is a pilot clinical trial in which 40 community mental health clinicians will be randomized to receive either implementation as usual (IAU) or IAU+EBIS.
