Screening for suicidality and adding safety-planning in primary-care lead to a 25% reduction in suicide attempts.
The trial-design is also fascinating.
Now imagine offering more (e.g., typical crisis intervention) to support people resolving the underlying cause of suicidal despair

ICYMI: Stability of clinical prediction models
We raise the concern that many models exhibit instability in the model and its predictions - and recommend instability plots should be presented

Excited to report that Dr. Nik Allan and I received a $3M NIMH R01 to optimize the delivery of safety planning-type interventions (SPIs) in psychiatric inpatients by identifying contexts that signify SPI use is clinically indicated & conditions that potentiate/inhibit SPI efficacy.
