Suicide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents, and rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) are climbing. Promising interventions such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are available to treat suicidal youth, and new approaches may facilitate greater intervention engagement, adherence, and effectiveness. Digital tools (eg, personal smartphones) are a particularly promising avenue and could enhance existing, evidence-based interventions by providing new opportunities for assessment and intervention between sessions.
自杀是青少年人群的第二大死因,自杀意念和行为(STBs)的发生率正在攀升。有一些有前景的干预措施,如辩证行为疗法(DBT),可用于治疗有自杀倾向的年轻人,而新的方法可能会促进更大程度的干预参与、依从性和效果。数字工具(例如个人智能手机)是一个特别有前途的途径,通过在治疗间隙提供新的评估和干预机会,为现有的基于证据的干预措施提供了增强。
