Brief Summary

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

This Study will evaluate the implementation of a multi-component suicide prevention technology (Jaspr Health) that facilitates delivery of suicided-related evidence-based practices (EBPs) while replacing wasted waiting time with productive time in the Emergency Departments (EDs). The EBPs satisfy several key performance elements for systems adopting Zero Suicide.

A Complementary Randomized Controlled Trial and Real-World Study for Efficacy, Effectiveness, and Implementation Study Design (CREID) will be used

Detailed Description

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

This study will evaluate Jaspr's patient-facing tablet-based application (app) during suicide-related ED visits. The app guides patients in completing the Suicide Status Interview, which comprises of evidence-based CAMS certified suicide prevention tools such as a suicide risk assessment, Stanley Brown- inspired safety plan, and lethal means safety counseling. It also offers access to a menu of "Comfort and Skills" modules that teaches patients behavioral skills to effectively manage imminent distress, while shared stories offer a library of professionally produced, racially and culturally diverse, inspirational videos of people with suicide-centered lived experience.

Subjects who engage with Jaspr can continue to access their safety plan, comfort and coping skills exercises, and the video library via Jaspr at Home (JAH) mobile application; a summary of the self-administered risk assessment is shared with the clinical team directly through the patient electronic health record to help guide the treatment plan.

Part A of the study will be a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of action of Jaspr's app intervention in EDs. It is reported in a separate CTG protocol (Unique Protocol ID: STUDY00000716 Part A)

This CTG protocol describes Part B of the study, which will be a Real-World Study (RWS) to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation processes in EDs and outcomes. Two health systems affiliated with Ohio State University and the University of Colorado will implement Jaspr as part of routine clinical care. Each health system will implement Jaspr in two diverse EDs: one major academic site, and one community site. Each system will collect data on eligible patients across two Phases: (1) a retrospective enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) phase comprising 12 months of index ED visits with a 12 month follow-up window, and (2) an Implementation/Intervention phase comprising 18 months of index ED visits with a 12 month follow-up window. Eligible patients will be defined as individuals 18 years or older who present to the ED in the designated date ranges and who screen positive for suicide risk on an evidence based screener administered clinically.

Data for all eligible patients across both phases will be collected. Data sources will be electronic health records (EHR) and state death registries. Data related to the index ED visit and all acute care visits within a 12 month follow-up window of the index visit will be collected. A limited dataset with personal identifiers removed will be shared with UMass Chan Medical School for harmonization and analyses.

Study Groups

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

Enhanced Treatment as Usual (ETAU) Historical Control Group

Enhanced Treatment As Usual (ETAU) Historical Control is defined as the treatment provided as part of routine clinical care in the participating EDs during a period of time when Jaspr was not being implemented.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Jaspr Implementation Group

This group will receive the enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) provided as part of routine clinical care at the participating EDs. They will also be considered by their treating team for administration of Jaspr. Jaspr administers a Suicide Status Interview (SSI), Safety Planning, and Lethal means counseling, and allows open access to the Jaspr resource library. They can sign up to receive Jaspr at Home mobile app.

Electronic Health Records (EHR) will be used to assess the outcomes in the 12 months following the index visit.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Jaspr App

Intervention Type DEVICE

Jaspr was designed to improve delivery of evidence-based, personalized suicide care in the ED. Jaspr (Dimeff, R44MH108222) is rooted in EBPs, including Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicide (CAMS) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Briefly, Jaspr provides a patient interface, optimized for a tablet computer provided to the patient, which uses an avatar to administer: (1) the CAMS Suicide Status Form (SSF), an evidence-based suicide risk assessment; (2) crisis stabilization planning (CAMS' version of safety planning) or Stanley-Brown Safety Planning Intervention, depending on site choice; (3) lethal means safety counseling. Further, Jaspr teaches behavioral skills from DBT to manage imminent distress and has a library of over 40 racially and culturally diverse, inspirational videos of people with lived experience. Finally, Jaspr@home provides access to these resources after the visit during the high-risk transition to outpatient care.
