Connecting Veterans at Risk for Suicide to Care Through the HOME Program
Abstract
The Home-Based Mental Health Evaluation (HOME) program, which engages veterans in care following psychiatric hospitalization, was evaluated. Thirty-four veterans who participated in the HOME program were compared to 34 veterans from a matched archival control group on treatment engagement and implementation outcomes. Veterans who participated in the HOME program were significantly more likely to engage in care, engaged in care more quickly, and attended significantly more individual mental health appointments. Veterans reported high levels of satisfaction. Results suggest that the HOME program is effective at engaging veterans in care during the high-risk period of time following psychiatric hospitalization.

Intensive postdischarge case management programs have been shown elsewhere to be effective in reducing suicides after psychiatric hospital discharge.
“Intensive postdischarge case management programs, which are not used in VHA, have been shown elsewhere to be effective in reducing suicides after psychiatric hospital discharge (9–16), leading to recommendations to add such programs to existing postdischarge suicide preventive interventions (17).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
