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.
