The prototypical suicide-prone person is an older white male with alcoholism, depression, physical problems, and poor psychosocial support. This describes a large portion of the veteran patient population. Suicide risk factors that are common in VA patients include male gender, older age, diminished social environment support (exemplified by homelessness and unmarried status), availability and knowledge of firearms, and the prevalence of medical and psychiatric conditions associated with suicide. A variety of characteristics of the VA system complicate suicide management. Efforts under way to emphasize ambulatory care and decrease the VA culture of reliance on inpatient treatment heighten the importance of accurate suicide assessment. The authors recommend several strategies that VA administrators can consider for improving the assessment and management of veterans with long-term suicide risk factors.</p>","PeriodicalId":73827,"journal":{"name":"Journal of mental health administration","volume":"24 3","pages":"350-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/BF02832668","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9119502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data-sharing agreements between juvenile justice and mental health systems enabled investigators to examine criminal referrals among 645 children between the ages of 10 to 17 who entered community-based public mental health programs in King County, Washington, over the course of a single year. Univariate and logistic regression analyses were performed. Adjusting for age, gender, and ethnicity, children involved in the public mental health system who had juvenile justice referrals were more likely than children involved in the mental health system without juvenile justice referrals to have parents with a history of incarceration, to abuse drugs and/or alcohol, and to have experienced physical abuse. The study shows that some children who receive public mental health services are at particular risk of having an encounter with the juvenile justice system.
