Summary

This study aims to improve suicide prevention for people who move between healthcare and the criminal-legal system. Researchers will link health records, Medicaid data, and jail booking information to identify individuals at risk and coordinate care. Over 1,000 adults with past police involvement will be tracked to see if better data sharing can reduce suicide attempts and repeat jail stays.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could create a data-sharing system that helps identify and support people at risk of suicide as they move between healthcare and the criminal-legal system.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly reduce suicide rates, and linking data across systems raises privacy and feasibility challenges.
