BackgroundSuicide is the second‑leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults in the United States, with rates rising over much of the last decade. The design, testing, and implementation of interventions to prevent suicide in this population is a public health priority. This manuscript outlines the design and methods for a research study that compares two interventions aimed at reducing suicide and suicide attempts in youth.MethodsWe will enroll 300 youth aged 12–24 at high risk for suicide in this randomized controlled parallel group superiority trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms: (1) Zero Suicide Quality Improvement (ZSQI) implemented within the Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) health system, or (2) ZSQI plus a stepped care intervention for suicide prevention (SC-SP), where the services offered (including care management and dialectical behavior therapy [DBT]) increase based on risk level. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, as well as 3-, 6-, and 12-months post randomization. The study was conceptualized and designed collaboratively by investigators at UCLA and KPNW.ResultsTo be reported in future manuscripts.ConclusionThe main objective of the study is to determine whether the SC-SP intervention is superior to ZSQI with regard to lowering rates of fatal and nonfatal suicide attempts. Interventions that incorporate the latest research need to be designed and tested under controlled conditions to make progress toward the goal of achieving zero suicide. The results from this trial will directly inform those efforts.Trial Registration.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03092271, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03092271https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01379027.
