Creating a tool to predict treatment outcomes for suicidal service members

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study aims to develop and test a treatment prognosis calculator designed to identify military personnel with suicidal ideation who are likely to respond to standard care versus those who would benefit more from Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT). The study will involve active duty service members engaged in mental health treatment, assessing their responses to treatment as usual (TAU) and comparing it to BCBT for those predicted to have inadequate responses to TAU. The ultimate goal is to enhance treatment effectiveness and reduce suicidal ideation among service members.
