Death by suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among young adults in the United States. While most patients who die by suicide have had recent contact with their health care providers, the medical delivery system is poorly equipped to address this preventable issue. EMA (ecological momentary assessment) systems show promise as indicators of suicide risk and as a means of enhancing existing resources. However, little is known about how to apply these methods in the context of clinical care. The AMPERE study leverages existing work on EMAs and human-centered design principles to develop and pilot a prototype suicide risk monitoring system to support suicide risk management for adolescents and young adults (ages 16-30) within the UW Medicine Primary Care system.
