Summary

The study purpose is to test the effect of Crisis Response Planning (CRP) when used as the second method of suicide prevention in military service members who are at risk for suicide due to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). CRP will be compared to usual treatment. The treatment will be a 30 to 60 minute session to one person at a time either in-person or using telehealth.

Detailed description

The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Crisis Response Planning as a secondary suicide prevention intervention among military service members who are at elevated risk for suicide due to their history of a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). CRP will be compared to a general review of available crisis resources facilitated by a therapist. Specific Aims: Aim 1: Determine the effectiveness of Crisis Response Planning (CRP) versus Treatment as Usual (TAU) on impulsivity and cognitive-affective states among military personnel with a diagnosis of mTBI. Aim 2: Understand associations between impulsivity and cognitive-affective states among military personnel with a diagnosis of mTBI. Aim 3: Determine if mTBI features (e.g., loss of consciousness duration, total number of lifetime TBIs, injury type) influence treatment outcomes.
