Summary
This study tests whether a short counseling session called Crisis Response Planning (CRP) helps reduce suicidal thoughts and attempts in active-duty military members who come to the emergency department with suicide risk. Participants are randomly assigned to receive CRP or standard care. The goal is to see if CRP is more effective than usual treatment in preventing future suicidal behavior.
