About this study

Official title: Program to Promote Commitment to Care for the Prevention of Suicidal Recurrence (Health Monitoring and Case Management) Versus Usual Treatment (Health Monitoring): Randomized Controlled Interventional Study in Routine Care.

In France, the number of emergency visits for suicide attempts is estimated at 220,000 per year. Suicide management aims to reduce suicide risk factors in order to improve the mental health of patients and prevent recurrences.

To day, no study has compared the approaches to health surveillance and case management in a clinical trial, nor established the benefit of each on commitment to care and beyond the prevention of suicidal recurrence.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • suicide attempt patient using PEPS ProgramOther

    Also called Suicide attempt patient using sanitary supervision

    The research protocol consists of two phases separated by randomization.

    A Hospital Phase common to both groups:

    Day zero is the day of the suicide attempt for which the patient came to the hospital.

    A post-hospital phase including the P.E.P.S. program for the intervention group and telephone reminders for the usual treatment group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical Global Impression (CGI)

    rating scales are measures of symptom severity, treatment response and the efficacy of treatments in treatment studies of patients with mental disorders.

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Suicide Intent Scale

    The Suicide Intent Scale (SIS) developed by A.T. BECK in 1974, is the only scale that focuses solely on the assessment of the suicide attempt that has just taken place.

    Measured: Day 0

  3. Montgomery-Asberg depression rating scale

    This scale is widely used to measure the changes brought about by the treatment of depression. It assesses the severity of symptoms in a wide variety of areas such as mood, sleep and appetite, physical and mental fatigue, and thoughts of suicide.

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluating the effectiveness of the P.E.P.S. program in preventing suicidal recidivism

    percentage of all suicidants who relapse during the 12-month study period.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Evaluate the level of possible generalization of the program

    percentage of all suicides of subjects likely to benefit from the program (subjects fulfilling the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria).

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Evaluate the feasibility of the program

    percentage of subjects included in the intervention group who received all interventions); weighted by the percentage of acceptance to participate in the study

    Measured: 1 year
