Mobile Phone Intervention to Reduce Youth Suicide in Rural Communities

The intervention group will receive 2-5 interactive text message sequences per week. These messages will invite students to reply using keywords and short free text replies.

"The control group will receive 1-2 (non-interactive) text messages per week containing general SoS concepts (e.g., Remember: more strengths are better when times get tough)."
