Summary
Suicide cognitions are conceptualized as enduring, chronic vulnerability factors that predispose individuals to suicidal crises. Therefore, modification of these beliefs may reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The goal of this research is to develop, refine, and pilot-test a mobile intervention to reduce cognitions that contribute to elevated suicide risk and to assess the impact of reductions in suicide cognitions and anger cognitions on suicide risk and functioning.
