Summary

This study tests a suicide prevention program called VA BIC for Veterans who recently received mental health care outside the VA system. The program includes a one-hour education session and follow-up support. Researchers will measure whether it reduces suicidal thoughts in 120 Veterans at high risk.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
VA Brief Intervention and Contact (VA BIC) program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective way to reduce suicide risk in Veterans receiving mental health care outside the VA system.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study with 120 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, and its impact on actual suicide rates is not directly measured.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
