Moreover, suicidal crises are relatively low-incidence events associated with high provider stress. Low-cost, scalable strategies to support provider implementation of recommended screening and triage practices are needed. Plastic badges containing mnemonic aids and worn directly underneath one's formal identification badge (i.e., \"badge buddies,\") may be one promising approach. Although badge buddies are frequently used in health care domains to support recall of procedures in other low-incidence, high-stress situations, suicide-specific badge buddies have not been developed or tested. We developed, iteratively refined, and gathered preliminary acceptability and feasibility data for a suicide prevention badge buddy (SPBB). A user-centered design process in a large health care system identified critical badge content through interviews with a diverse group of stakeholders (<i>n</i> = 27, 70% female, <i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 44) to inform the development of an initial SPBB prototype. Second round interviews and questionnaires with stakeholders about the resultant SPBB's usability, acceptability, and feasibility guided iterative refinements to design and content. Preliminary qualitative and quantitative data indicated that stakeholders viewed the SPBB as widely acceptable and useful for health system staff, particularly for those without formal training in suicide prevention and those who do not regularly interact with at-risk individuals. This feedback suggests high usability, acceptability, and feasibility for the final SPBB design and supports formal testing of this SPBB. Implications for evaluating SPBB effectiveness and implementation are discussed.

Using a quasi-experimental design, veterans participating in specialized programming within a proposed veteran-only living facility (the Veterans Hub) at the Correctional Training Facility were compared with veterans receiving programming at San Quentin State Prison.

Semistructured interviews were conducted with a subsample of Correctional Training Facility participants at Time 1 and follow-up to explore invariant attitudes about programming and were analyzed using applied thematic analysis. Compared with veterans at San Quentin, veterans at Correctional Training Facility reported modest reductions in posttraumatic stress disorder, moral injury, and anger symptoms. Qualitative findings revealed an appreciation for the reparative aspects of programming that leverages shared identity, trust, and mutual accountability and frustration with leadership instability and unfulfilled program expectations. Veteran-focused programming was associated with small improvements in trauma-related outcomes despite unstable implementation.

Research highlights the importance of parents in promoting adolescent safety and well-being. However, parents and adolescents are not always aligned in how to engage parents in adolescent care. Furthermore, little is known about what support parents need when caring for a child with suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) in PC. In this study, 16 pediatric PC professionals, 20 adolescents with histories of STB, and 18 parents of adolescents with histories of STB completed interviews regarding their perspectives on adolescent suicide care in PC. Interviews asked about barriers, facilitators, needs, and if and how parents should be involved in PC-based adolescent suicide care. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using inductive and deductive thematic analysis. Results demonstrated that adolescents, parents, and PC professionals believe parents play an important role in adolescent suicide care in PC. However, all groups reported key challenges that impede effective parent involvement, including the following: (a) concerns about mental health and suicide stigma, (b) poor parent-child relationships, (c) parent-child difficulty communicating about mental health and safety, and (d) concerns about patient confidentiality and privacy. Additionally, parents reported needs, including (a) help navigating youth mental health services, (b) emotional support, and (c) education/resources about adolescent STB. Results highlight a tension between adolescent hesitancy toward parent involvement, parents' desire to be more included and informed in their child's care, and PC staff concerns regarding how to navigate this discrepancy.

This study examined the long-term effects of a Health Action Process Approach-based volunteering intervention on psychological well-being, exploring the mediating roles of self-efficacy and meaning in life. The study recruited 198 community-dwelling adults aged 55+ years in Hong Kong, randomized into intervention, active control, or passive control groups. The intervention group participated in a 2-week preparatory training followed by an 8-week structured volunteering program. Standardized measures of prosocial behavior (Prosocialness Scale for Adults), psychological well-being (World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index), self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale), meaning in life (Meaning in Life Questionnaire), and loneliness (six-item UCLA Loneliness Scale) were administered at baseline and at 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-ups. Repeated-measures analysis of variance and mediation analyses were conducted. The intervention group showed significantly greater improvements across all outcomes compared with both control group, with benefits sustained to 9 months. Mediation analyses indicated that self-efficacy fully mediated the effect of volunteering on psychological well-being, while a significant chain mediation pathway via meaning in life and then self-efficacy was also observed. A theory-driven volunteering intervention significantly enhances psychological well-being among older adults in Hong Kong, with self-efficacy as a central mechanism. These findings highlight the value of Health Action Process Approach-guided programs for active aging in collectivist societies.

The purpose of the evaluation was to examine feasibility across implementation periods and delivery contexts and to describe symptom and functional improvement during participation, rather than to test intervention efficacy. A total of 281 veterans enrolled across three implementation periods and multiple Veterans Affairs sites; measure availability varied by period and outcome. The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for <i>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,</i> fifth edition; Beck Depression Inventory-II; Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test; Brief Addiction Monitor; and Situational Adaptation to Stress Scale were used as available at pre- and posttreatment. Linear mixed-effects models were treated as the primary inferential analyses because they accounted for repeated measurement, site-level clustering, and incomplete data, whereas measure-specific Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and site/period comparisons were treated as secondary sensitivity analyses. Participants improved during program participation on posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, alcohol use, and stress adaptation outcomes, with the largest gains observed for stress adaptation and functioning. Mean Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for <i>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,</i> fifth edition, scores decreased from 50.56 to 42.52, and mean Beck Depression Inventory-II scores decreased from 31.35 to 25.46, while mean Situational Adaptation to Stress Scale scores increased from 20.82 to 31.13. Improvement patterns were observed across implementation periods and in both in-person and telehealth delivery contexts. An overall difference in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for <i>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders</i>, fifth edition, scores was observed between Periods 2 and 3, but change over time did not differ significantly by period. Overall, these findings support the feasibility of implementing Stress Inoculation Training-Health Sustainment and Restoration across Veterans Affairs settings and suggest that participation in the program was associated with symptom reduction and functional improvement. As the design was observational and lacked a comparison condition, the results should not be interpreted as establishing intervention effectiveness, equivalence across formats, or scalability beyond the contexts studied.

Notably, there is significant overlap between risk factors for legal system involvement and suicide, particularly criminogenic needs and posttraumatic stress symptoms. To identify patterns of co-occurrence among these factors, latent profile analysis was conducted in a subgroup of VCLI from an epidemiological sample of adults in the community (<i>N</i> = 522). Based on six criminogenic needs and four posttraumatic stress symptom indicators, results supported five unique subgroups of VCLI characterized by lowest endorsement across indicators (\"low\" profile, 55.4%); high endorsement of avoidance symptoms (\"avoidant\" profile, 23.6%); high endorsement across all posttraumatic stress symptom criteria and low-to-moderate endorsement of criminogenic needs (\"posttraumatic stress symptoms\" profile, 11.7%); high endorsement of hyperarousal/reactivity symptoms and elevated endorsement of intrusion/re-experiencing symptoms, education/employment difficulties, antisocial attitudes/orientation, and antisocial personality/behavior (\"threat-reactivity\" profile, 5.2%); and highest endorsement across nearly all posttraumatic stress symptoms and criminogenic needs, particularly characterized by high antisocial attitudes/orientation, antisocial personality/behavior, and substance abuse (\"high\" profile, 4.2%). A logistic regression analysis supported a significant relationship between profile membership and a history of suicide attempt for the \"high\" and \"posttraumatic stress symptoms\" profiles, corresponding to elevated rates of endorsement for these groups. The current findings suggest that the identification of subgroups of VCLI may be helpful in identifying which VCLI are especially important to address in suicide-prevention efforts and recidivism risk prevention efforts.
