What this trial studies
The study builds on the First Line Leaders program by adding structured guides called the Total Health Action Plan, which combine Crisis Response Planning and Problem-Solving Therapy. It targets Idaho ARNG soldiers who have at least one year left on their contract and collects questionnaires and interviews to understand its impact. The intervention focuses on improving relationships between junior enlisted soldiers and their non-commissioned officers to strengthen unit cohesion and social support. The trial is conducted through the Idaho Army National Guard in Boise, with the University of Rochester leading and Idaho ARNG collaborating. Eligibility includes active Idaho ARNG service, age 18 or older, and the ability to complete study procedures.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience fewer crises and lower suicide risk through improved unit support and coping strategies.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work on Crisis Response Planning and Problem-Solving Therapy has informed this approach, though the combined, unit-focused implementation is being tested here.
