VA tests new lifeline for rural veterans at risk of suicide
NCT ID NCT06139887
Summary
This small pilot study tested a new support program for rural veterans who had recently finished mental health treatment and were at risk of self-harm. The program, called BESST, provided education and follow-up check-ins to see if it could reduce suicidal thoughts and feelings of hopelessness better than standard care alone. Researchers compared 20 veterans who received the extra support to those who did not.
