Pragmatic trial of a targeted digital intervention for youth with suicidal thoughts and behaviours attending outpatient care

现有的旨在减少青少年自杀念头的项目往往无法在帮助年轻人保持健康方面带来持久的好处。我们的团队开发了一种基于在线社交媒体的干预（称为Affinity），通过允许全天候访问数字治疗，以及治疗师和同伴支持，解决了过去项目的局限性。这项试验旨在揭示相对于对照项目，Affinity是否能有效减少年轻人的自杀意念。

Existing programs aiming to reduce suicide ideation in youth often fail to impart lasting benefits in helping young people stay well. Our team have developed an online social media-based intervention (called Affinity) that addresses limitations of past programs by allowing 24/7 access to digital therapy, alongside therapist and peer support. This trial will aim to uncover whether Affinity is effective in reducing suicide ideation in young people, relative to a control program.
