A Randomized Clinical Trial of the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality vs. Enhanced Care as Usual for Suicidal Soldiers

Abstract

This Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) compares the effectiveness of CAMS versus Enhanced Care As Usual (E-CAU) in a sample of n = 150 active-duty Army Soldiers who are experiencing suicidal ideation and/or behaviors. Research clinicians for both treatment conditions will be recruited from the Army Research Site (ARS), Fort Stewart, GA, and will be trained and monitored for fidelity and adherence to their respective treatment condition by the study staff. Participants are recruited from a number of sources at the ARS including the outpatient behavioral health clinic and the inpatient unit. Approvals from all IRB committees involved in the study have been obtained. Participant recruitment began in MAY 2012 for the training phase of the study; intent-to-treat phase of the study began in FEB 2013; recruitment is on-going.
