Interventions

  • Crisis Response Planning — BEHAVIORAL
    Crisis Response Planning (CRP) is a brief, one-time intervention that teaches individuals to notice warning signs of an impending crisis (e.g., suicidal crisis) and provide them with skills to help reduce suicide risk.
  • Couples-based Crisis Response Planning — BEHAVIORAL
    This intervention expands on traditional CRP by integrating the intimate partner into the intervention. Among service members, intimate partners are the group most likely to be told about suicidal thoughts prior to a suicide attempt.

Study Details

Suicide is a leading cause of death in Veterans. Suicide rates among Veterans have increased approximately 36% from 2001 to 2020. Veterans are at increased risk for suicide compared to non-Veterans, with the rate of suicide death being 57.3% higher for Veterans than non-Veterans. The present study will pilot test a virtual couple-based crisis response plan (CRP-C) for Veterans in order to reduce crisis symptoms and decrease suicide risk.
