TIPS (Trans-Tasman Internet-delivered Prevention of (youth) Suicide) study: protocol for a randomised controlled trial of mobile health interventions (four apps) to help young people reduce suicidal ideation
Overview
This protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial evaluating four mobile health applications aimed at reducing suicidal ideation in young people aged 16–24 across New Zealand and Australia. The study compares three therapeutic apps against an attention control app, measuring primary outcomes of ideation severity at 30 and 90 days, alongside secondary metrics like well-being and acceptability. It is designed for researchers and clinicians interested in the methodology and cross-cultural scalability of digital suicide prevention interventions.
