This study aims to create a tool to help predict which service members with suicidal thoughts will benefit most from different treatments. Researchers are comparing two approaches: Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (BCBT), which teaches skills to manage suicidal crises, and Treatment as Usual (TAU), which is the standard mental health care. The goal is to see if this new tool can identify who might do better with BCBT as a first treatment. You could be eligible if you are an active duty service member, at least 18 years old, currently receiving mental health treatment, and have experienced suicidal thoughts recently. The study will measure changes in suicidal thoughts over 6 months. The current status of this study is unclear.
