Summary

This trial is testing whether a therapy session about thoughts and perceptions of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline could help people who have experienced a suicidal crisis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with a probable alcohol use disorder in the past year, indicated by an AUDIT score of 16 or more. Participants must have attempted suicide within the last year or had suicidal thoughts recently, as shown by certain scores on the Beck scales.
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether therapy sessions discussing perceptions about using the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can benefit those who've faced a suicidal crisis and have issues with alcohol.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves therapy sessions rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional distress when discussing sensitive topics like suicide.
