In 30 seconds

This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of crisis response planning (CRP) and safety planning (SP) on suicidal ideation in U.S. military personnel and veterans with PTSD. The study found that CRP improved affective regulation and altered the relationship between negative affect and suicidal ideation, promoting feedback loops that may reduce acute suicidal risk.

Key findings

  • CRP showed coupling between negative affect and positive affect, unlike SP, which coupled negative affect directly with suicidal ideation.
  • Suicidal ideation exhibited weak self-regulation, indicating greater persistence once elevated.
  • CRP strengthened affective regulation and integrated suicidal ideation with affective processes.

Why it matters

Understanding how interventions like CRP influence the dynamics of affect and suicidal ideation can inform treatment strategies for high-risk populations, potentially enhancing therapeutic outcomes and reducing suicide risk.
