Ecological Assessment of Daily Suicidal Thoughts and Attempts among Suicidal Teens after Psychiatric Hospitalization: Lessons about Feasibility and Acceptability

Youth suicide, the second leading cause of death among adolescents (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014), has tragically increased in recent years (Curtin et al., 2016). Despite a great deal of knowledge concerning suicide risk and protective factors gained over the past several decades (see reviews by Bridge et al., 2006; Gould et al., 2003; Spirito and Esposito-Smythers, 2006), less is known about immediate (within hours or days) precursors to suicidal behavior that may be most clinically relevant (Glenn and Nock, 2014).
