Key Points Question Does a secondary prevention module in community addiction treatment improve patients’ suicide knowledge, attitudes, and help-seeking compared with usual care? Findings In this stepped-wedge cluster-randomized clinical trial including 906 participants at 15 treatment sites, the Preventing Addiction Related Suicide (PARS) prevention module produced consistently greater improvements compared with usual care in suicide knowledge and a greater reduction in maladaptive attitudes about suicide across all time points, and greater improvement in help-seeking by 6 months. Meaning These findings suggest that PARS was effective in improving suicide prevention outcomes and has the potential for wide dissemination and implementation.
