About the Course

The primary aim of this study was to evaluate which brief interventions, alone or in combination, have the greater effect on suicide ideation (primary outcome) and resilience (secondary outcome) among AI youth ages 10–24 ascertained for suicide-related behaviors by the tribal surveillance system.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Employing a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) to Evaluate the Impact of Brief Risk and Protective Factor Prevention Interventions for American Indian Youth Suicide created by Victoria M. O’Keefe, PhD., MS.,et al. in 2019.
