Brief description of study
This study’s goal is to identify and
validate a package of implementation strategies to promote reach,
effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance of ASIST among Suicide Intervention Officers (SIO) in
the Connecticut Army National Guard.
Aim 1: Finalize our formative research
to develop the implementation package for SIOs and chaplains. Hypothesis 1: We
anticipate that Army-SPRING will need to include implementation strategies that
target potential barriers including improving the social climate for
implementation (establishing and supporting a sense of community among SIOs and
Chaplains/Religious Affairs Specialists), social norms around SIO/Chaplain
suicide prevention work, and individual level factors including attitudes
self-efficacy and behavioral intention).
Aim 2: Using our implementation
science logic model and a randomized controlled clinical trial, evaluate the
effects of Army-SPRING to facilitate implementation outcomes for ASIST among NG
SIOs, compared to Control (Risk Reduction Group). Hypothesis 2: Army-SPRING
will significantly improve implementation outcomes including reach (primary
outcome), adoption, acceptability, appropriateness, and maintenance of ASIST
skills and behaviors (asking about suicide risk, developing safety plans, and
referring to appropriate care).
Aim 3: Evaluate clinical
effectiveness/service outcomes of our implementation package and assess
mechanisms of action. Hypothesis 3: Soldiers who are in units randomized to
Army-SPRING will be less likely to report suicidal ideation, suicide attempts,
risky behaviors and help-seeking on the annual Unit Risk Inventory Survey
Version 3 (URI-3) compared to soldiers in units who received Control.
Hypothesis 4: Implementers who are in
units randomized to Army-SPRING will report greater self-efficacy in using,
satisfaction with, and attitudes about ASIST relative to implementers who are
in Control. Primary Indicator of Reach (Primary Outcome): URI-3. The annual
URI-3 is completed anonymously by all unit soldiers and is identifiable to the
level of the unit, for tracking purposes.
