The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Rhode Island Hospital $756,356 on August 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a prospective longitudinal study of parenting practices following psychiatric hospitalization of suicidal adolescents. The study will identify modifiable parenting practices and their impact on self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB) during the first month post-discharge, a period when readmission risk peaks. Rhode Island Hospital will recruit 250 adolescents ages 12–17 and their parents from a psychiatric inpatient unit and employ a multi-method design combining self-report measures, mobile diaries, behavioral assessments, and fundamental frequency analysis of parent-adolescent interactions to capture day-to-day variations in both general parenting practices (warmth, communication, monitoring) and safety-specific practices (access to means, safety plan review). Participants will complete baseline assessments and engagement tasks, then track fluctuations in parenting and adolescent mood through daily mobile diaries over four weeks, with follow-up assessments at 1, 3, and 6 months post-discharge. The research will examine how transactional dynamics between parents and adolescents influence long-term outcomes. Performance takes place in Providence, Rhode Island. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031. This is a Project Grant, an assistance type supporting specified research projects.
