ReSIST: Reducing Self-Injury and Suicidal Thinking
We are conducting a research study at the University of Utah examining how mindfulness can help teenagers recover from self-injury or suicidal thoughts.
Teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 who have been discharged from an inpatient psychiatry unit in the past 2 weeks due to self-injury or suicidal thoughts and behavior may be eligible.
What will the study involve?
- Questions about thoughts, feelings, and behavior
- Meeting with a clinician
- Access to an app-based mobile intervention
- Possibility of 10 weekly treatment sessions using mindfulness
- Possibility of a brain scan using MRI
- Ongoing assessment at 3 and 6 months after treatment
What are the benefits?
- Access to an app-based mobile intervention
- Possibility for weekly meetings with an experienced clinician
- Possibility of seeing a full image of your brain
- Help advance an important scientific field
- Eligible participants will be compensated for their time
