The team determined there was insufficient time to conduct the planned pilot testing and will instead focus on refining the intervention. - **Phase:** NA - **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL - **Target Enrollment:** 0 - **Lead Sponsor:** University of Washington - **Collaborators:** Kaiser Permanente, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) - **Conditions:** Suicidal Ideation and Behavior - **Start Date:** 2026-06 - **Completion Date:** 2027-09 - **CT.gov Last Update:** 2026-03-19 ## Brief Summary The suicide rate has increased 28% over the past two decades while heart disease, diabetes, and cancer mortality has declined. Starting in 2011, new standards have led to improved adoption and reach of suicide risk surveillance in primary and specialty care. Treatment, however, has lagged. Collaborative Care in primary care settings has demonstrated small but significant reductions in suicidal ideation when a recognized psychological treatment model is included but not when Collaborative Care only includes medication management, suggesting that improvements to psychological treatments in Collaborative Care could further improve suicide outcomes. Developed in a series of conferences in Aeschi Switzerland, the "Aeschi Model" based on the clinical narrative has become an established approach to suicide care endorsed by leaders across the suicidology field - including the developers of major evidence-based suicide interventions. With support from the Methods Core, this Exploratory (R34) study of the University of Washington Suicide Care Research Center (SCRC) will co-design and pilot test the "Connections model" that integrates Aeschi Model with Collaborative Care or other Integrated Behavioral Health with adolescent and young adult patients (age 13-30 years) who do not require immediate crisis intervention. This study will focus on increasing therapeutic alliance - a key proposed mechanism of the Aeschi approach and the SCRC. The aims of this study are to partner with diverse primary care clinics to conduct a pilot test of the Connections model compared to treatment as usual in six primary care clinics to determine (a) usability and acceptability of the intervention components to patients and providers and (b) the components' potential impact on therapeutic alliance and patient and provider self-efficacy, and (c) potential impact on suicidal outcomes. Given the strong theoretical basis for both the Aeschi Model and Collaborative Care, this proposal has the potential to develop a high impact intervention that will both reduce suicide risk and improve therapeutic alliance - potentially without any increase in the quantity of care. ## Detailed Description This study will focus on increasing therapeutic alliance - a key proposed mechanism of the Aeschi approach and the SCRC.

Exclusion Criteria: * any clinical medical/psychiatric condition, severity of that condition, or life situation that, in the opinion of the primary care or research team, compromises safe and voluntary study participation (e.g., high risk for suicide requiring transfer to higher level of care; physically aggressive, custody conflict) ``` ## Arms - **Experimental Condition** (EXPERIMENTAL) - **Treatment as Usual** (ACTIVE_COMPARATOR) ## Interventions - **Treatment as Usual in Collaborative Care or Integrated Behavioral Health** (BEHAVIORAL) — Treatment as Usual will be whatever primary care and behavioral health services are standardly implemented for adolescents or young adults experiencing suicidality - **Connections model** (BEHAVIORAL) — The Connections model applies the Aeschi Model of suicide care to Collaborative Care or other Integrated Behavioral Health by centering the patient's clinical narrative, focusing treatment on the patient's unique drivers of suicide, and maximizing collaboration while maintaining the standards of suicide assessment and management expected by accrediting bodies. ## Primary Outcomes - **Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM)** _(time frame: baseline, one month, and two months)_ — Four item scale to measure the acceptability of an intervention - **System Usability Scale** _(time frame: baseline, one month, and two months)_ — The System Usability Scale is a 10-item measure of the usability of a tool, and is considered the industry standard for measuring usability in the UCD field. A SUS score of 80 is generally seen as a threshold for a highly usable system. - **Harkavy-Asnis Suicide Scale** _(time frame: baseline, one month and two months)_ — This measure assesses the frequency of suicidal ideation on a 5-point Likert scale, with 0 indicating "never" and 4 indicating "most or all of the time". Higher scores reflect higher severity and frequency of suicidal ideation. ## Recent Field Changes (last 30 days) - `status.overallStatus` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `status.whyStopped` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `status.primaryCompletionDate` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `status.completionDate` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `status.lastUpdatePostDate` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `design.phases` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `design.enrollmentCount` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `eligibility.criteria` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `eligibility.minAge` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `eligibility.maxAge` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `eligibility.sex` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `outcomes.primary` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `armsInterventions.arms` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `armsInterventions.interventions` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `sponsor.lead` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `sponsor.collaborators` — added _(2026-05-12)_ - `results.hasResults` — added _(2026-05-12)_ --- *Canonical: https://parkinsonspathways.com/agent/trials/NCT06700993.md* *Source data (authoritative): https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06700993* *This page is a raw mirror with no AI summary, no editorial enrichment, and no Parkinson's-specific filtering.*
