Augmented Momentary Personal Ecological Risk Evaluation
University of Washington
Summary
The goal of this intervention study is to co-design and test an Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) prototype tool with young adults aged 16-30 experiencing suicidality to see if it is an acceptable and usable clinical tool for risk management. The main study aims are: * To co-design a prototype EMA suicide risk monitoring system with patients and health care provider input using Human Centered Design (HCD) methods. * To test the developed EMA protype with providers and their young adult patients aged 16-30 experiencing suicidality to determine if the EMA prototype is an acceptable and usable clinical tool. Young adult participants receiving care for active suicidal ideation will * Download and use the EMA prototype for a total of two months. * Complete 3 online surveys at 0, 1 and 2 months after enrolled in the study.
Description
Death by suicide is a leading cause of preventable mortality for young adults in the United States, yet the health care delivery system is poorly equipped to address this preventable issue. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) allows patients to easily self-monitor and track symptoms using devices young adults already use (e.g., smartphones) in their natural environments, and can combine self-reported assessment with digital indicators of wellbeing via native smartphone sensors (e.g., daily step counts; number of device unlocks during the night, which may indicate sleep problems). EMA suicide…
