Overview

The text has been rewritten and needs to be replaced. The standard formatting in surveyjs removed paragraph breaks which need to be returned. Additionally, if it is possible to create a hyperlink for the suicide hotlines listing rather than writing out the tinyurl, that would be preferable.

Action Items

New text:

Thank you for your interest in the Not Today: Self-Defense Against Suicidal Thoughts user research survey.

We are a team of volunteers working on creating an app that can provide support to those who regularly undergo periods of suicidal thinking. While the team includes those who deal with this problem, the more people who share about their experiences with suicidal thinking, related mental health issues, and mental health apps in general, the more serviceable of a tool we can ultimately build.

As safety is of the highest concern, we encourage people to be in a safe, comfortable, and confidential environment while taking the survey, possibly in the company of a caring and supportive person.

We realize that these questions may be triggering and bring up difficult feelings. If at any point you need to stop, we encourage you to take a break and do some self-care or use some coping strategies you may already have.

If you need additional support outside your current resources, please reach out to the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255 or click here to see an international list (https://tinyurl.com/yxlzd4qn).

All data is collected anonymously and not shared outside the project.

• SurveyJS: Library is free under MIT License
  SurveyJS Service is a free hosted end-user service. Interface is nice, allows export to CSV, XLS/X, and JSON. Has an API
• Forms.id Blockchain encryption but can't tell if it costs $. Maybe too new.
• If anyone is from the EU we can use their survey creation platform EUSurvey. Can't play with it without an EU login though.
• ESurv: seems to be recommended by academia but the interface may frighten and bewilder modern humans (Homo usercentricus)

Recommendation: SurveyJS Service

Mental Health Smartphone Apps: Review and Evidence-Based Recommendations for Future Developments

• 100% CBT-focused which is not really our approach here. the symptom we are looking at, as it is part of implicit memory, can't be changed via cognitive means.
• Additionally, best practice for chronic suicidal ideation is not to change it at all (as in a CBT paradigm), as it it can be a necessary coping mechanism standing between the person and actual suicide attempts. The goal is to endure the SI without acting on it.
