Official title
Safety Planning for Autistic Youth: A Randomized Controlled Trial With Providers in Pediatric Clinics
Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the initial feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of Crisis Interventions for Pediatric Providers - Autism version (CIPP-A) for providers serving autistic youth in outpatient settings. The main question aims to answer: * Assess whether CIPP-A is feasible and acceptable to providers in development behavioral pediatric clinics? * Assess whether CIPP-A shows initial effectiveness in increasing providers confidence in managing suicide risk in autistic youth? If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare CIPP-A to general safety planning intervention (SPI) on feasibility, acceptability, and initial effectiveness. Participants will be randomized to receive training in SPI or CIPP-A and complete online surveys and interviews over 6-months to measure feasibility, acceptability, and initial effectiveness.
Interventions
- Behavioral Safety Planning Intervention
The Safety Planning Intervention (SPI) is leading, evidence-based intervention that manages risks associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors in youth. The SPI is delivered by providers to youth and their parents/guardians and focuses on teaching the family a series of safety planning steps to keep youth safe as they experience suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors. The SPI can be delivered by providers to families in person or virtually during clinic visits, and shows effectiveness in increasi - Behavioral Crisis Interventions for Pediatric Providers - Autism version (CIPP-A)
The CIPP-A is an autism-specific crisis intervention for pediatric providers co-developed by the PI (licensed psychologist) and autistic people, which was published in Pediatrics. Similar to the SPI, CIPP-A is delivered by providers to youth and their parents and focuses on teaching the family a series of crisis interventions to keep youth safe as they experience suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors, with autism-specific adaptations. Autism-specific adaptations include warning signs (e.g., sensory
