NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Randomized Controlled Effectiveness Trial of VA S.A.V.E.
Veterans are most likely to disclose suicidal thoughts to their close supports such as family and friends. These loved ones are, in turn, very interested in learning how to help a Veteran in need. Close supports are uniquely poised to provide a meaningful contribution to suicide prevention, if they can learn how to effectively promote Veterans' connection to care. VA S.A.V.E. (Signs; Ask; Validate; Encourage and Expedite) is a suicide prevention gatekeeper training specifically tailored to the Veteran community that teaches close supports how to identify signs of suicide risk and how to connect the at-risk person to professional treatment. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of VA S.A.V.E. and to explore factors impacting its potential widespread implementation.
