UCLA Safe Steps Study: Improving outcomes for youth with suicide risk in emergency departments
Strong365 Lab is serving as a community partner for UCLA Health Safe Steps study, funded by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to evaluate evidence-based interventions for reducing suicide attempts and improving outcomes for youth presenting to emergency departments with suicidal concerns.
Serving on the steering committee, Strong365 advises on key strategic elements of study implementation and helps to lead its community partner strategy, ensuring that diverse youth and family insights are continuously incorporated into the team's approach. Outcomes of this 5-year, multi-site study has the potential to guide decision makers on how to best develop services and systems for youth experiencing suicidality, and a scalable model of care that may contribute to achieving national goals for suicide prevention.
