Summary
This study tests a 6-month remote case management program called Pathfinding for active-duty Army soldiers recently discharged from inpatient psychiatric care. Participants receive guidance via video or phone to set goals and connect with resources. The goal is to see if this extra support reduces suicide attempts and rehospitalizations compared to standard care alone.
