Long-Term Use and Application of Systematic Tailored Assessment for Responding to Suicidality (STARS) Protocol Following Original Training.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding the use of Systematic Tailored Assessment for Responding to Suicidality protocol (STARS-p) in practice by trained mental health practitioners over the longer- term is critical to informing further developments. The study aim was to examine practitioners' experiences of STARS-p and factors associated with its use in practice over a 12-24-month period after training.

Method

Practitioners who undertook the STARS-p training completed an online survey 12-24 months post training. The survey focused on the frequency of use of STARS-p (in full and each section) as well as perceptions about STARS-p applied in practice. Analyses included correlations, logistic regression and content analysis.

Results

67 participants (81% female, Mage = 43.2, SD = 10.3)
