A study protocol of the effectiveness of the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) for recent suicide attempters: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Given the limited research focusing on psychotherapeutic interventions for suicide attempters, it is noteworthy that the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) has demonstrated promising results in previous studies. In this investigation, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of ASSIP across diverse healthcare settings, outlining the study design and planned evaluation.

Methods

Using a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design with four assessment points (baseline, 3, 12- and 24-month follow-up), we aim to assess the effect of the 3-session psychotherapeutic intervention and hereafter brief contact via structured letters during 2 years in a clinical sample of recent suicide attempters (suicide attempts within three months before inclusion).
