Brief Summary:
Seventeen United States Veterans die by suicide each day Nearly three-fourths of those Veterans die from firearm injury or poisoning and many seek care in VA Emergency Departments ED prior to suicide attempts In 2019 the VA began screening all Veterans seeking ED care for increased suicide risk Interventions that promote firearm and medication safety are recommended for Veterans identified as at-risk The investigators work will provide important information that will aid the development and testing of such an intervention for Veterans who seek care in VA EDs The investigators will interview at-risk Veterans who recently sought VA ED care to identify factors relevant to developing the intervention and work with Veterans and VA healthcare staff to develop and test an intervention
Detailed Description:
Veterans will be recruited from the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center RMRVAMC ED who are identified as having elevated suicide risk by VHAs new suicide risk screening initiative All Veterans visiting VHA EDs are screened using an eight-item version of the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale C-SSRS Screener a valid predictor of future suicidal behavior The C-SSRS Screener assesses suicide risk using eight items about recent suicidal ideation and intent preparatory behaviors and action Deductive and inductive content analysis of qualitative interviews will occur in parallel with recruitment and participants will be recruited until thematic saturation is achieved
Veterans visits approx 90 minutes will be scheduled at their preferred times at RMRVAMC within two weeks of discharge from the ED Sociodemographic and military service data will be collected using the Rocky Mountain Mental Illness Research Education and Clinical Center MIRECC Demographics Survey During this visit individuals will participate in qualitative interviews to identify contextual factors that may inform development of VA-based lethal means safety interventions
