This study uses motivational interviewing techniques (health coaching), mood, behavior, psychosocial, neurocognitive assessments, and RAR stability measures (Actiwatch) to assess levels of suicide risk and depression and impact of a digital behavioral probe during the journey of grief. Please visit, gsuicide.pitt.edu/szanto_participate.html for more information.
