Substance Use Disorders and Suicide Risk in a VA Residential Program

Abstract

The primary study objective of this research is to determine the extent to which substance use information informs the assessment of suicide risk in the Mental Health Residential Rehabilitation Programs (MHRRTPs) of the VHA Canandaigua. The study will use the Brief Addiction Monitor (BAM) and the Suicide Risk Assessment (SRA) to assess this relationship, if there is a relationship.
