NCT ID NCT04506164

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether an electronic self-report screening system (eScreening) helps VA clinics detect depression, PTSD, alcohol problems, and suicide risk more quickly and more often in newly enrolled post-9/11 veterans. Researchers compared screening rates and referral times between clinics using eScreening and those using usual methods. The goal was to see if eScreening leads to earlier mental health support for veterans transitioning to VA care.
