Summary
This study aims to create a treatment prognosis calculator for military personnel with suicidal thoughts. Researchers will test whether a specialized therapy called Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) works better than standard care for those predicted not to respond to usual treatment. About 1,200 active-duty service members will participate, completing surveys over 12 months.
