Brief Summary: The present study consists of 3 projects in total and aims to investigate the neuro- psychological patterns from suicidal ideation to suicidal behavior as well as the effects and feasibility of ASSIP Home Treatment

The overall aim of project 2 is to investigate how the neuro- psychological patterns are modulated by the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program ASSIP Therefore suicide attempters participating in this project 2 will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group ASSIP or a standard care plus resource interview STAR group The ASSIP and STAR interventions take place at the University Hospital of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Bern Switzerland

At the end of the assessment in project 1 participants who reported a history of past suicide attempt SUAT will be informed about project 2

Only if participants agreed to take part in project 2 and have signed the informed consent they are randomized into two conditions The ASSIP intervention ASSIP versus standard of care plus resource interview STAR Participants of both groups will be assessed again 4 weeks and 12 months after their first baseline assessment of project 1
Detailed Description: Purpose and aims

The present study consists of 3 projects in total and aims to investigate the neuro- psychological patterns from suicidal ideation to suicidal behavior as well as the effects and feasibility of ASSIP Home Treatment

After the cross-sectional study in project 1 determining the neuro- psychological patterns between suicide ideators SUID and suicide attempters in project 2 the aim is to learn more about the neuro- psychological patterns and how they are modulated by a suicide-specific brief intervention ASSIP that was proven to be effective In addition to the neuro- psychological assessment longitudinal process factors are examined by comparing an ASSIP intervention group to a group of standard care plus resource interview STAR The STAR intervention refers to the usual and customary practices within the field including suicide risk assessment a non-specific resource focused intervention and if necessary further outpatient or inpatient treatment

Background

In Switzerland approximately three people die by suicide every day and suicide attempts exceed this number by far As a previous suicide attempt is one of the strongest predictors for a completed suicide it is of utmost importance to identify the people at risk However research has shown that traditional risk factors eg depression psychiatric disorder etc reliably predict suicide ideation but poorly predict suicidal behavior Furthermore while effective suicide-specific interventions exist up to 50 of the suicide attempters reject the recommended treatment and around 60 discontinue treatment after one session Hence a different approach is required In this study three projects will be conducted Project 1 aims is to identify the neuro- psychological patterns of suicidal attempters by comparing between the following four different groups

1 patients with a prior suicide attempt SUAT 2 patients with no prior suicide attempt but suicidal ideation SUID 3 a general patient group CLIN and 4 a healthy control group HLTH

Project 2 aims to investigate how these patterns are modulated by the efficacious brief therapy ASSIP In project 3 the feasibility effects and cost-effectiveness of the ASSIP Home Treatment will be investigated

Study design of project 2

A longitudinal analysis over 12 months will only be conducted for the SUAT group SUAT who participated in project 1 will be asked whether they also wish to participate in project 2 If they agree they will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group ASSIP or STAR group to understand the influence of the brief ASSIP on neuro- psychological correlates in suicide attempters The brief therapy ASSIP and STAR will take place at the University Hospital of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Bern Switzerland Participants in project 2 will be assessed at 4 weeks and 12 months after the first assessment which was conducted within project 1 and participants will be assessed on several process factors after each ASSIP or STAR session
