State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Program

Training Utilization and Preservation–Survey

Adolescent Version (TEXT)

About three months ago you participated in a training activity related to suicide prevention. At the end of the activity, you and your caregiver/parent/guardian consented to be contacted for a follow-up survey about your experience.

About the survey

We are inviting you and a random sample of youth who participated in training activities related to suicide prevention to participate in the study because we want to understand what you learned during this training, how you are using what you learned, and if it has changed the way you talk with your peers. Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and you may end the survey at any time for any reason. You will not be penalized for stopping.

This survey will take about 10 minutes and will be done through text messages to your cell phone. As a thank you, we will give you a $10 Amazon gift code.

Some of the questions may make you feel uncomfortable. You do not have to answer any questions you do not want to answer. You may stop the survey at any time, or not answer a question, for whatever reason. If you stop the survey, at your request, we will destroy your survey. You will not be penalized for stopping or not answering a question.

Your participation will not result in any direct benefits to you, but you will be contributing to an effort to prevent suicide among youth.

Your answers will be combined with other youth’s answers and your name will never be used. Your answers to the questions will be private. You will not receive any spam/unsolicited text messages and your phone number will not be shared. We will not share your responses with your name. All of our reports combine many people’s responses so no one can be identified.

We have applied for a Certificate of Confidentiality (CC) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to keep anything that you tell us private. This means that we will not tell anyone what you tell us even if a judge tries to force us to identify you as a person in the study. You should know, however, that we may tell local authorities if harm to you, harm to others, or if child abuse/neglect becomes a concern.  Also, the government agency that has provided the money for this project may see your information if they ask for our records to ensure we were conducting the project correctly. The CC that we have does not mean that DHHS approves or disapproves this project.

If you have any concerns about completing this survey or have any questions about the study, please contact Christine Walrath, principal investigator, at (212) 941-5555 or [email protected].

If you or someone you know is in need of help or you just want to learn more about suicide prevention, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-TALK (8255).

Please respond YES by text if you would like to continue receiving survey questions via text message.
