Integrative Data Analysis of Coping Power:
Effects on Adolescent Suicidality

This new R01 grant from the NIMH will use integrative data analysis of individual patient outcomes from 10 trials of the Coping Power (CP) program to test its effects on suicidality and related outcomes. It will be one of the first such studies to 1) assess suicide prevention effects from an externalizing focused intervention, 2) test for gender-specificity in pathways to preventing suicidality, and 3) examine the combinations of CP’s delivery conditions with individual youth characteristics to identify optimal conditions for CP.

Co-PIs: Dr.
Antonio  Morgan-Lopez, Dr. Anna Yaros, and Dr. John Lochman
