Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

National Guard (NG) are affected by suicide at a much higher rate than civilians. The Military and Veterans Crisis Line (MVCL) is not being used as often as we would expect. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a group-based training session will impact awareness and use of the Military and Veterans Crisis Line (MVCL) among members of the National Guard.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

In Phase 1, we will utilize a cluster randomized control trial (RCT) design to recruit from approximately 12 National Guard (NG) units within the Michigan NG. Soldiers from the selected NG units will be approached for study recruitment during their drill weekends. Only units with \>25 Soldiers (out of \~110 units in Michigan) will be eligible to be selected for study recruitment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Crisis Line Facilitation (CLF)

Crisis Line Facilitation (CLF) is a promising translational strategy designed to increase Military and Veteran's Crisis Line (MVCL) use among NG members during periods of elevated suicidal risk by addressing individual-level barriers.
