Can better coordination save lives? VA tests intensive case management for veterans at risk of suicide
NCT ID NCT07534358
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a program called SUPERCEDE, which provides intensive case management to veterans who are at risk for suicide and receive care both from the VA and outside community providers. The goal is to improve care coordination, reduce suicidal thoughts, and improve daily functioning. One hundred veterans will be randomly assigned to either SUPERCEDE or a standard therapy (present centered therapy) to see which works better.
