Centralized Care Navigation for Suicide Prevention
(STAY Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the best way to provide suicide prevention care to adults receiving outpatient mental health care. The study compares two approaches based on the Zero Suicide Framework: Local Care Continuity and Centralized Care Navigation.
The main questions the study aims to answer are:
* Does adding support from a centralized telehealth care navigation team reduce suicide attempts compared with providing additional tools and support to local mental health clinicians?
* Does the centralized approach help more patients receive recommended suicide prevention care, including safety planning, and connect with follow-up mental health treatment?
* How do patients experience the two approaches, including their ability to cope with difficult situations and their experiences with their mental health care?
Researchers will compare Local Care Continuity, in which suicide prevention care is delivered by patients' local mental health clinicians with additional implementation support, with Centralized Care Navigation, which adds support from a centralized telehealth team of clinicians and care navigators. The researchers expect that Centralized Care Navigation will result in better suicide prevention care, greater connection to follow-up treatment, and fewer suicide attempts than Local Care Continuity.

Active Control
A centralized telehealth suicide prevention team works with existing specialty mental health clinicians to provide or facilitate suicide risk assessment, safety planning, and connection to follow-up care. This arm includes the implementation strategies used in Local Care Continuity plus additional support from clinicians and care navigators.
Existing specialty mental health clinicians deliver suicide prevention care, including suicide risk assessment, safety planning, and connection to follow-up care, supported by implementation strategies designed to increase delivery of recommended suicide prevention practices.
