Men and Providers Preventing Suicide (MAPS)
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Suicidal Intention, Suicidal Ideation, Suicide, Attempted
In brief
This study will determine if suicidal middle-aged men who use a personalized computer program addressing suicide risk before a primary care visit are more likely to discuss suicide and accept treatment, reducing their suicide preparatory behaviors and thoughts.This is important because half of all men who die by suicide visit primary care within a month of death, yet few broach the topic, missing chances for prevention.
