Healio (9/5, Laboy) reported, “A smartphone app designed for therapeutic intervention did not impact time until suicide attempt after hospitalization but did reduce repeated attempts for patients with prior suicide attempts, according to results of a randomized study.” One researcher said, “Our results suggest that the app may be most helpful for patients who had previously attempted suicide – an especially high-risk subgroup.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
