New personalized safety plan aims to save Veterans' lives after hospital discharge
NCT ID NCT07507786
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new approach called Personalized Safety Plans (PSP) for veterans who are hospitalized due to suicide risk. The goal is to create a tailored plan during a single session, followed by brief coaching calls twice a month for three months after discharge. Researchers will compare PSP to standard safety plans to see if it reduces suicidal thoughts and helps veterans cope better.
