Official title
Examining a Strategy to Engage Rural Veteran Patients After Community Care Treatment
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to test an adapted suicide prevention program (the Building VA Engagement, Self-efficacy, and Social Support To Prevent Suicide or BESST) in rural Veterans discharged from community care mental health treatment settings. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does BESST combined with standard care improve suicide-related outcomes among this population compared to standard care alone? Participants will be assigned by change to a treatment group. Some will receive the BESST intervention combined with standard care, and some will receive standard care alone. All participants will be in this research study for up to three months. Those receiving the BESST intervention will have: * 1 one-hour brief educational session; * Seven follow-up check-ins (\~30 minutes each) All participants will have three assessment interviews where they will be asked about their mental health and treatment received outside of the VA. The investigators will compare participants assigned to the BESST intervention combined with standard care vs participants assigned to standard care alone to see if the BESST intervention improves suicide-related outcomes.
