About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the effective outpatient management of acute youth suicide risk by optimizing intervention components to build an efficient, evidence-based intervention that is responsive to the needs of, and coordinated with, providers in primary care settings. The main questions are:
1. What is the strongest combination of SOARS components associated with reduction in youth suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB)? 2. Do age and STB history moderate the impact of the effects of the SOARS intervention components? 3. Do therapeutic alliance, youth and caregiver self-efficacy account for changes in youth STBs? 4. What helps medical outpatient providers refer to SOARS and continue care after SOARS?
