Pilot Study of Health System/Community Partnership for Enhanced Outreach to Prevent Suicide Attempts

"The EOI will contain four main components: safety planning, caring contacts, care engagement, and risk assessment.~A phone call (or text messaging) from Samaritans staff will be conducted every week of the 12 week intervention. Conversations will use a standardized phone script to (a) conduct a risk assessment, (b) develop and review a list of coping skills to use if you have suicidal thoughts, and (c) discuss participants' plans for receiving mental health care. Samaritans staff will also send a caring text message or email at least once per week.~Participants will also receive standard care that hospitals give for individuals who present to the ED with suicidal thoughts."
