Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) Replication Trial

Abstract

Suicides in the U.S. Marine Corp (USMC) have remained increased, despite a relative decline in 2014. Furthermore, 33% of Marines who die by suicide access out patient behavioral health services in the month preceding their death, while 55% of those who make a nonfatal suicide attempt access these services in the month before their attempt. As Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT) has been indicated as an efficacious treatment to decrease suicide risk in Army soldiers, additional research is needed to determine whether its efficacy is generalizable to the USMC. The current, longitudinal randomized controlled trial (RCT) will compare the efficacy of BCBT against Present Centered Therapy (PCT), an active control condition, in 210 treatment-seeking Marine with past-month suicide ideation (SI) or attempts (SA).
