Peer Support Intervention for Suicide Prevention Among High-Risk Adults in Michigan: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Innovative approaches to address interpersonal risk factors for suicide attempts and suicidal ideation may help reduce persistently elevated suicide rates in the US.

Objective

To determine whether Peers for Valued Living (PREVAIL), a posthospital peer support intervention, reduces suicide attempts and suicidal ideation among adults psychiatrically hospitalized for suicide risk.

Design, setting, and participants

This single-masked, randomized clinical trial recruited adult psychiatric inpatients aged 18 years or older from 3 Michigan-based facilities between June 22, 2018, and December 30, 2022. The study compared 3 months of the PREVAIL intervention plus enhanced usual care with enhanced usual care only, with 3 months of postintervention follow-up.
