A Novel Cognitive Remediation Intervention Targeting Poor Decision-making and Depression in Veterans at High Risk for Suicide: A Safe, Telehealth Approach During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The proposed study aims to collect pilot data to test the feasibility and acceptability of adjunctive neuroplasticity-based cognitive remediation on key treatment targets. The intervention will be delivered via telehealth to a sample of 36 Veterans with MDD and a history of a suicide attempt. The intervention will be delivered in 20 90-min sessions (2x/week for 10 weeks). Pre-, post, and follow-up assessments will be conducted to assess changes in neurocognitive, clinical, social, and real-world functioning.
