Army-SPRING Army-Suicide Prevention Research (NCT06547008)
Army-Suicide Prevention Research on Implementation in the National Guard (Army-SPRING)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Every unit in the Connecticut Army National Guard has a Suicide Intervention Officer to provide suicide intervention education awareness for their unit, monitor for soldiers in crisis and connect soldiers with helping resources and agencies. Suicide Intervention Officers need support in this difficult role, yet there is limited guidance on how to help them. This study will shed light on how to support Suicide Intervention Officers and whether this support results in reduced suicide risk in their units.
