Summary

This trial aims to test the effectiveness of a digital platform called Aviva in providing cognitive-behavioral therapy to Servicemembers who have had recent suicidal thoughts or attempts. The Aviva platform

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Servicemembers with recent suicidal thoughts or attempts, who are seen in primary care clinics. They must have indicated a risk of suicide on specific assessments like the PHQ-9 and CSSRS Screener. Participants should be comfortable using smartphones but cannot join if they don't meet the clinic's criteria for suicide risk or can't follow the study procedures.
What is being tested?
The trial tests Aviva, a digital version of Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT), against standard safety planning and mental health care. Aviva aims to reduce suicidal ideation through an app over 8 weeks with features allowing revisiting treatment modules. Engagement with the app will also be analyzed for its impact on reducing suicidal thinking.
What are the potential side effects?
Since Aviva is a digital therapeutic platform rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort or emotional distress when engaging with therapy content related to their condition.
