Summary

This trial aims to reduce teen suicide rates by testing if adding an evidence-based insomnia treatment to a suicide-focused therapy helps more than just the suicide-focused therapy alone.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking teens aged 12-18 who are at high risk for suicide, have had a suicide attempt or multiple self-harm episodes, and suffer from insomnia. They must be on stable medication if they're taking any for psychiatric disorders or sleep issues, and live at home with a family member willing to participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether adding digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors more effectively than DBT alone in adolescents. Participants will also wear a sleep-tracking device.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated, side effects may include discomfort from discussing sensitive topics during therapy sessions, potential privacy concerns with wearing the sleep-tracking device, and possible emotional distress.
