This may perpetuate barriers to care and reduce treatment generalizability, especially in populations with elevated rates of STB, such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). We conducted a cohort study of randomized controlled trial (RCT) participants (N=80) who received a smartphone-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment for BDD that allowed for most forms of past STB, except for past-month active suicidal ideation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This study had two objectives: (1) to characterize the sample\u2019s lifetime prevalence of STB and (2) to estimate and predict STB incidence during the trial.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We completed secondary analyses on data from an RCT of smartphone-delivered CBT for BDD. The primary outcomes consisted of STB severity and suicide attempt assessed at baseline with the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and weekly during the trial via one item from the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report (QIDS-SR item #12; 1043 observations). We computed descriptive statistics (n, %) and ran a series of bi- and multivariate linear regressions predicting STB incidence during the 3-month trial.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n At baseline, 40% of participants reported a lifetime history of active suicidal thoughts and 10% reported lifetime suicide attempts. During the 3-month trial, 42.5% reporting thinking about death or suicide via weekly assessment. No participants reported frequent or acute suicidal thoughts, plans, or attempts. Lifetime suicide attempt (odds ratio 11, 95% CI 2.14\u201059.14;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <.01) and lifetime severity of suicidal thoughts (odds ratio 1.76, 95% CI 1.21\u20102.77;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <.01) were significant bivariate predictors of death- or suicide-related thought incidence reported during the trial. Multivariate models including STB risk factor covariates (eg, age, and sexual orientation) modestly improved prediction of death- or suicide-related thoughts (eg, positive predictive value=0.91, negative predictive value=0.75, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve=0.83).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Although some participants may think about death and suicide during a DMHI trial, it may be safe and feasible to include participants with most forms of past STB. Among other procedures, researchers should carefully select eligibility criteria, use frequent, ongoing, low-burden, and valid monitoring procedures, and implement risk mitigation protocols tailored to the presenting problem.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/63605","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,11]],"date-time":"2025-01-11T17:59:43Z","timestamp":1736618383000},"page":"e63605-e63605","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Prevalence and Incidence of Suicidal Thoughts and Behavior in a Smartphone-Delivered Treatment Trial for Body Dysmorphic Disorder: Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4163-1741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adam C","family":"Jaroszewski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0371-7870","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natasha","family":"Bailen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6732-7484","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simay I","family":"Ipek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2919-3673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jennifer L","family":"Greenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2060-1666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susanne S","family":"Hoeppner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3448-3755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hilary","family":"Weingarden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5979-3151","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivar","family":"Snorrason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5316-2711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabine","family":"Wilhelm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"593","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.62.6.593","article-title":"Lifetime prevalence and age-of-onset distributions of DSM-IV disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication","volume":"62","author":"Kessler","journal-title":"Arch Gen Psychiatry"},{"issue":"1","key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1177\/1745691610393527","article-title":"Rebooting psychotherapy research and practice to reduce the burden of mental illness","volume":"6","author":"Kazdin","journal-title":"Perspect Psychol Sci"},{"issue":"3","key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.1002\/j.2051-5545.2010.tb00305.x","article-title":"Reducing the treatment gap for mental disorders: a WPA survey","volume":"9","author":"Patel","journal-title":"World Psychiatry"},{"issue":"1","key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.beth.2019.08.001","article-title":"Cognitive-behavioral therapy in the digital age: presidential address","volume":"51","author":"Wilhelm","journal-title":"Behav Ther"},{"key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cpr.2024.102417","article-title":"The future of psychological treatments: the Marburg Declaration","volume":"110","author":"Rief","journal-title":"Clin Psychol Rev"},{"issue":"5","key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"450","DOI":"10.1089\/tmj.2015.0129","article-title":"Are trials of computerized therapy generalizable?
