Automated Digital Safety Planning Interventions for Young Adults: Qualitative Study Using Online Co-design Methods
Engaging young adults in the design process of a digital suicide prevention tool revealed critical considerations that must be addressed if the tool is to effectively expand access to evidence-based care to reach young people at risk for suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. Specifically, automated digital safety planning interventions must support building skillfulness to cope effectively with suicidal crises, deepening interpersonal connections, system transparency, and data privacy.
