Sleep Health in U.S. Marines

The goal of this study is to test a sleep health program designed specifically for U.S. Marine Corps personnel. Researchers want to determine if this program helps Marines improve the participants sleep quality and overall mental health. The study will evaluate whether the program improves sleep quality and duration and reduces symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicide ideation. There are three distinct sleep health programs that will be evaluated; participants will be randomly assigned to one of five groups to receive different combinations of the sleep health programs. To measure results, researchers will use participant surveys for all enrolled participants and wearable sleep-tracking devices for a sub-set of participants. The study team expects that Marines who receive the most comprehensive version of the program will show the greatest improvements in sleep and psychological well-being.

Analysis of Suicidal Behavior Among Children and Adolescents in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes Region During the Covid 19 Pandemic Period

In 2020, the world is hit by a global health crisis due to a pandemic following the appearance of Sars-cov-2 or "covid-19". This pandemic was accompanied by a constant fear of contamination and death, relayed by the media. In France, the government proposed in response to the arrival of this virus on French territory. This policy was implemented in different ways over 3 distinct periods: strict containment at the start of the epidemic, then a "lighter" one, and finally a period of social restrictions without between these periods. This policy had a direct and rapid impact on the population's daily routines. Children and adolescents, are more susceptible to psychological trauma, as stress has a direct and psychic development. Studies have shown deleterious impact of the French health situation on the paediatric population. They point to an increase of psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety in the under -20s population, and an increase in suicidal gestures over the 2020-2021 period, with rates remaining higher than in previous years. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in the population aged 15-24. Studies continue to focus on the incidence of suicidal gestures of suicidal gestures and psychological disorders, and few of them examine the factors linked to the increase in these incidences, the traumatic impact or the story of the trajectory. Similarly, the few studies focus only on the population aged 12 and over, and in some cases, do not distinguish between age groups (15-24 or under 20). Investigators believe that the various periods of social restrictions and eco-anxiety caused by the pandemic may have influenced suicidal behaviour in this population. The main objective of this study is to investigate the clinical and socio-economic characteristics of the pediatric population who experienced suicidal behaviors in the Auvergne Rhone Alpes region during the covid 19 pandemic.

Acceptability & Safety of Two Sequential Doses of Psilocybin in Bipolar Disorder II Depression and Suicidality

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and acceptability of up to two sequential administrations of 25 mg psilocybin with additional therapeutic support in decreasing suicidality in patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD II) depression.

Assessing Improvements in Mood and Sleep Trial

This is a multi-site randomized control trial involving people age 55+ years who have current depression symptoms plus another suicide risk indicator (either current suicidal ideation or a past history of attempt). Our goal is evaluate which of two different approaches works best to improve things like trouble sleeping, bad moods, and any suicidality. Participants will complete diagnostic interviews, self-report scales, and wear an actigraphy device for the 8 weeks starting at the baseline visit.

Effectiveness of the Adapt for Life, Mental Wellness and Suicide Prevention Program

Adapt for Life is a mental health and wellbeing program designed to help young people develop healthy behaviors and important life skills to manage stress and mental health challenges. The program is a collaboration between Adapt for Life and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Purpose of the Study: The primary purpose of the Adapt for Life study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ADAPT framework in improving mental health outcomes for students. The framework includes steps such as Ask, Describe, Assess, Plan, and Talk, which are designed to help students tackle stress during everyday moments or in times of crisis. Question the Study is Trying to Answer: The study seeks to answer whether the ADAPT framework can significantly improve students' ability to manage stress, recognize mental health issues, and seek appropriate help. It aims to determine if the program can reduce instances of harmful behaviors and improve overall mental wellbeing among participants.

acTBS Treatment for Inpatient Subjects With Suicidality

This is a pilot study to analyze the benefit of accelerated continuous Transcranial magnetic stimulation for inpatient subjects suffering with suicidal ideation. This study will enroll 40 inpatient subjects recruited from the Resnick Neuropsychiatric hospital. Subjects will be blinded and randomized to active or sham TMS treatment and will receive up to 5 assigned treatments per day. Subjects will also be asked to complete mood surveys throughout their participation. Participation in this study will last 7-10 days depending on scheduling.

Nitrous Oxide in the Treatment of Acute Suicidal Ideation

The primary aim of the NITOS study is to investigate the potential rapid antisuicidal effects of N2O in the transdiagnostic treatment of suicidal ideation. On day 1, patients will receive either nitrous oxide (50% N2O balanced with oxygen) or placebo (50% oxygen balanced with air). Seven days after the first inhalation, a second inhalation will be performed. All patients will receive N2O at least once during this trial. While the first inhalation will be double-blind, only the patients but not the raters will be blinded to the second inhalation (day 8). For mechanism of action and prediction, a nested biomarker substudy will employ multimodal techniques including analysis of hair and blood samples, and EEG.
