Background summary
Background: The Turkish community, living in Europe, has an increased risk for suicidal ideation and attempted suicide. Online self-help may be an effective way of engagement with this community. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a culturally adapted, guided, CBT based online self-help intervention targeting suicidal ideation for Turkish adults living in the Netherlands and in the UK.
Methods/Design: This study will be performed in 2 phases. First, the Dutch online intervention will be adapted to Turkish culture. The second phase is a randomized controlled trial with 2 conditions: experimental and waiting list control. Ethical approval has been granted the trial in London and Amsterdam. The experimental group obtains direct access to the intervention, which takes 6 weeks to complete. Participants in the waiting list condition obtain access to the modules after 6 weeks. Participants in both conditions are assessed at baseline, post-test and followed up 3 months after post-test. Primary outcome measure is reduction in frequency and intensity of suicidal thoughts. Secondary outcome measures are self-harm, attempted suicide, suicide ideation attributes, depression, hopelessness, anxiety, quality of life, worrying and satisfaction with the treatment.
Study objective
The online self-help programme is more effective in reducing suicidal thinking compared to the information website in the Turkish community
Study design
Adaptation of the online self-help modules will be finalized in 2015, the trial website will be ready and the recruitment will start in October 2015, the recruitment will be finalized in December 2016, the writing up will be finalized in December 2017.
