Brief Summary:
Despite efforts to prevent suicide, US rates are climbing, and suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst youth. Digital tools, especially personal smartphones, are promising avenues to address these issues and can be used to increase engagement with effective interventions such as suicide safety planning. The BRITE suicide safety planning app was developed on evidence-based principles and has undergone rigorous formative development and effectiveness evaluations. However, to optimize its functionality, commercial viability, and scale its implementation, issues related to user engagement need to be addressed. This 4-week Micro-Randomized Trial (MRT) will optimize specific components of ViraBrite, an augmented version of the BRITE suicide safety planning app that integrates automated algorithms (i.e., just in time adaptive intervention features) to facilitate increased engagement with coping skills and pushes safety planning materials to users at periods of high risk (i.e., increases in emotional distress).
Detailed Description:
The goal of the MRT is to optimize the ViraBrite intervention by randomly assigning participants to various combination of notification timing (e.g., morning, midday, evening). Participants will download the ViraBrite suicide safety planning app that integrates automated algorithms (i.e., just in time adaptive intervention features) to facilitate increased engagement with coping skills and pushes safety planning materials to users at periods of high risk (i.e., increases in emotional distress). The MRT will last for 4 weeks for each participant. Each day, participants will receive prompts ("nudges") according to a micro-randomized pattern that encourage them to access the ViraBrite app and utilize suicide safety planning skills. One decision point will occur per day. At each decision point, participants will have a seventy-five percent chance of receiving a nudge. Given that they are randomized to receive a nudge, participants have a 33.3% chance of receiving a notification at one of three time points: morning, midday or evening. The MRT will also investigate the impact of estimated emotional distress as a moderator of responding to the nudge. Specifically, measures of distress including 1. Self-report of daily mood, 2. Linguistic markers of distress (i.e., first person pronoun use) and 3. Geolocation will be explored as moderators of engagement with nudges.
