Cultural norms within their communities strongly emphasize relationships. Previous research has found that receiving occasional positive and nondemanding messages\u2014caring text messages\u2014can be beneficial among people experiencing suicidality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To ameliorate increasing rates of suicide and suicidality among AI young adults, we implemented a caring text message intervention designed to increase social connectedness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This 2-arm, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial is being implemented at 2 clinical sites with large AI populations. Partnering with clinics in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Rapid City, South Dakota, we are recruiting AI adults aged 18-34 years to participate in a caring text message study. During the baseline visit, participants complete several surveys and an interview with study staff to understand their history of suicidal behavior. After completion of the baseline visit, participants are randomized to receive the intervention\u2014approximately 30 caring text messages\u2014or treatment as usual. The text messaging platform selected for this study allows bidirectional messaging; while there is no expectation that participants respond, they can provide feedback or seek additional resources. Participants are followed up at 6 and 12 months postbaseline. At the final 12-month follow-up visit, they complete many of the same surveys and participate in an interview to ascertain suicidality since their initial visit. The primary outcomes of interest are suicide-related behaviors\u2014suicidal ideation, suicide planning, suicide attempt, or thoughts and actions requiring hospitalization. Secondary outcomes include social connectedness and other measures of mental health. We will use an intention-to-treat analysis with logistic and linear regression to calculate odds ratios and risk differences (95% CIs) for binary and continuous outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>As of June 2025, the New Mexico site has finished recruitment and follow-up assessments.
