Summary
This study tested a program called PEACE for veterans leaving a psychiatric hospital. The program includes a one-hour talk about suicide prevention, seven follow-up calls, and a mobile app to help veterans feel connected. Researchers compared this extra support to standard care alone in 92 veterans to see if it reduces suicidal thoughts and improves coping.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioral intervention (PEACE program: brief education, regular follow-up contacts, and a mobile mental health app)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could provide a practical, low-cost way to reduce suicidal thoughts and improve coping in veterans after a psychiatric hospital stay.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 92 participants, so results may not apply to all veterans. The intervention relies on patient engagement and smartphone access, which may limit its reach.
