Treatment Seeking Study

Participants assigned to Group A were asked to participate in a talking session with a psychologist regarding thoughts about treatment. This session is designed to explore thoughts about behavioral health therapy for suicidality. The session was administered by phone, initially and again one month later. Participants discussed current functioning and their thoughts about seeking help with the goal of modifying thoughts about treatment. This phone session lasted approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

Participants assigned to Group B received information about the VA's National Crisis Line.
