Project
Measuring
Adolescent Potential for Suicide (MAPS)
NIH,
National Institute of Nursing Research: 1994-2000
The purpose
of this project is to further evaluate the MAPS (Measure of
Adolescent Potential for Suicide) for assessing and interventing
in:
- direct
suicide-risk thoughts and behaviors
,
- related
risk factors (e.g., depression, poor school achievement),
and
- protective
factors (e.g., personal resources, social support).
The MAPS
protocol is a crisis intervention that has three elements:
- A
computer-assisted, survey questionnaire and structured interview
- A
follow-up "connection" with a trusted adult at school (e.g.,
counselor, favorite teacher, coach)
- A
follow-up telephone conference with a parent or guardian
