About This Suicidal Ideation Study in Fort Hood

Participants are asked to take part in this research study after coming to the Emergency Department with thoughts or behaviors of seriously hurting themselves. There are very few resources to treat acute suicidal thoughts or behaviors in an emergency department. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of combining an intramuscular (IM) injection of ketamine and Crisis Response Planning (CRP), a single, 45-60 minute psychological intervention with a therapist, to quickly reduce suicidal thoughts in patients treated in an emergency department (ED) prior to being admitted to the hospital.

Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Adult men and women between the ages of 18 and 70 presenting to the Emergency Department with acute suicidal ideation anticipated to be admitted as an inpatient at UH or CRDAMC based on the ED and admitting providers determination that the patient warrants hospitalization for suicidality and the capacity of the institution to admit the patient.
Able to read and write English.
