What is being tested?
The study tests a program called SOCIAL-ENGAGE designed to increase cultural-social engagement and reduce suicide risk among Spanish-speaking adults at risk for suicide. It involves optimizing the intervention with a small group first, then testing its effectiveness in a larger pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since SOCIAL-ENGAGE is a behavioral intervention focusing on education and social activities rather than medication, it may not have typical 'side effects' but could include emotional discomfort or increased anxiety due to participation.
