Procedure
Participants were scheduled for individual session on an online,
HIPAA-compliant, communication platform. Upon arrival, participants were
informed that participation was voluntary and could be discontinued at
any time. Verbal consent was obtained from students and then information
about their physical location was obtained and stored in separate,
secure document; this information was used in case of emergency due to
elevated suicide risk and was deleted at the conclusion of the student’s
participation. Students then provided formal, electronic consent and
then completed a series of questionnaires (including the INQ-15,
ACSS-FAD, DSI-SS, and the EDE-Q). The study concluded with the IPTS risk
interview; if students indicated some level of suicide risk, they were
connected with the counseling center on campus – if they indicated
extreme/imminent risk, then 911 was contacted.
