Brief summary
The primary hypothesis of the study is to automatically classify a sample of call recordings obtained from our telehealth partners according to risk of suicide. Risk of suicide is defined as low (levels 1 and 2 on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating scale, CSSR-S) and High (levels 5 and 6 on the CSSR-R). Call recordings will be sourced from two industry partners including On The Line who administer the Suicide Call Back service and the Australian Federal Police who administer 000 emergency services in the Canberra, Australia region.
Interventions
Duration of observation is 1/7/2020 - 30/6/21
Call recordings made to a national telehealth suicide prevention service will be observed throughout the duration of each call. Callers identified as being at high risk of imminent suicide will be identified. Callers will by identified via screening questions ("are you at risk of suicide", and "do you have a plan that you will carry out"). High risk of suicide status will be initially assigned by the responding counsellor using an organisational risk

Callers will by identified via screening questions ("are you at risk of suicide", and "do you have a plan that you will carry out"). High risk of suicide status will be initially assigned by the responding counsellor using an organisational risk framework, then confirmed retrospectively by a team of Associate Researchers and finally re-confirmed by the student investigator, using the Columbia Suicide Severity Risk rating (ratings 5 and 6). Calls are made form private homes, and in public spaces.
