Abstract
Suicide is the second leading cause of mortality for Canadian adolescents. Providing timely and appropriate follow-up for youth who present to emergency departments with mild to moderate suicidal ideation (SI) is challenging. This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel brief group intervention for adolescents with mild to moderate SI and their caregivers, drawing from two evidence-based interventions: DBT and attachment-based family therapy. The primary objective was to evaluate whether treatment reduced adolescent SI. Secondary objectives were to determine whether the intervention significantly reduced adolescent anxiety, depression, and both adolescent and caregiver-perceived stress. Participant satisfaction and clinician fidelity to intervention content were also evaluated.
