Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the world; it has been widespread since the beginning of civilization (Battin, 2015). In fact, there are more global suicide deaths than malaria, breast cancer, war, or homicide (Bruffaerts et al., 2011). It is also the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. and has been a significant, growing public health challenge (CDC, 2018). Although research is improving in detecting risk and protective factors, and establishing effective suicide-specific treatments (e.g., CAMS, DBT, & CT-SP), these efforts are not enough in preventing suicide (CDC, 2016). Additionally, because it has been so pervasive, research efforts are targeting all affected age groups and genders within the country, specifically emerging adults (NIMH, 2019). Among emerging adults in the U.S., suicide is the second leading cause of death (NIMH, 2019). Suicide can be prevented if individuals with suicidality seek mental health treatment (Trueland, 2014). Research has consistently posited that there is a small percentage of individuals that die by suicide who were currently in treatment or had previously sought treatment. Emerging adults are reluctant to seek treatment when experiencing suicidal ideation due to various reasons such as negative attitudes toward professional help sources (e.g., psychotherapy), increased reliance on oneself to solve his/her own problems, and self and public stigma. Likewise, there are also facilitators which influence treatment-seeking behaviors. In terms of treatment-seeking facilitators, researchers have shown that social support, emotional competence, and mental health literacy (Rickwood et al., 2005) have increased treatment-seeking among emerging adults and adolescents. Importantly, mental health literacy (i.e., psychoeducation) appears to be the easiest means to impact one's treatment-seeking behavior. However, after one receives such information, it will not guarantee that he will conduct the intended goal of seeking treatment. As such, this is the first study to examine how a brief psychoeducation intervention intended to educate online participants about suicide-specific psychotherapy treatments influences treatment-seeking behaviors among emerging adults with suicidality and self-stigma. The study recruited 138 participants between the ages of 18-25. The inclusion criteria consisted of people who live in the U.S. and who have endorsed suicidal ideation and behaviors (SBQ-R; Osman et al., 2001). They were recruited from the crowdsourcing website Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) where they received one dollar as compensation. Participants were randomly assigned to either the treatment (i.e., enhanced psychoeducation) or control arm (i.e., traditional psychoeducation). Following the intervention, participants were directed to a separate webpage to assess whether they navigated to the website to select suicide-specific psychotherapy providers, which is also known as "treatment-seeking behavior". The hypotheses state that an enhanced psychoeducation intervention regarding the benefits of suicide-specific treatments is associated with (1) increased treatment-seeking behavior and (2) decreased stigma compared to the control group. The results indicated that the hypotheses were not supported. The relation between the enhanced psychoeducation intervention and treatment-seeking behaviors was not significant. Additionally, after receiving the enhanced psychoeducation intervention, participants' self-stigma scores did not significantly differ from those that received the traditional psychoeducation intervention. Future directions should continue to explore ways to effectively communicate the efficacy of suicide-specific treatments to highly suicidal emerging adults who are doubtful about psychotherapy.
