Summary

This study tested a program called PEACE, which includes a one-hour educational session, seven follow-up calls, and a mobile app, to help veterans after they leave a psychiatric hospital. The goal was to see if it could reduce suicidal thoughts compared to standard care alone. The trial involved 92 veterans at high risk for suicide.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
brief educational session, regular follow-up contacts, and a mobile mental health app
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, low-cost way to reduce suicidal thoughts 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, which can be inconsistent.
