Registered outcomes 2

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescriptionSource
PrimaryModified Suicide Stroop Task10 minutes
A computer-based task that assesses reaction time to naming colors of words presented sequentially. Words are suicide, depressive, positive, and neutral-related. Reaction times that are higher indicate that the content of the word interfered with naming the color (i.e., attentional bias). A score is computed that subtracts reaction time to neutral words from that to suicide words, creating a measure of suicide-related attentional bias. Minimum total score within sample: -113.00 Maximum total score within the sample: 145.92 Higher values indicate more attentional bias (worse outcome).
ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryBrief Hopelessness Measure (Brief-H-Neg)5 minutes
A brief, 2-item questionnaire that assesses state hopelessness will also be assessed. The items were rated on a scale of 1 to 5. The scale score was the sum of the two items. The total possible score for the scale (sum of the two items) ranged from 2 to 10. Higher values indicate a worse outcome.
