Picture
Our overall objective in the study was to conduct a randomized controlled trial with military Service Members to determine whether or not the addition of a Continuity Contact via Texts (CCVT) intervention to treatment as usual (TAU) resulted in reductions in suicidal ideation and behavior over the year following identification of suicide ideation or behavior. Links to the outcome data analyses are listed below.
