Synonymous with the word suicide is the term self-directed violence. A shared understanding of self-directed violence (SDV) in its various forms is critical. The VA has adopted a system that is consistent with the CDC SELF-DIRECTED VIOLENCE SURVEILLANCE UNIFORM: Definitions and Recommended Data Elements. The SDVCS website contains clinical tools, training, and an interactive set of vignettes to test understanding and knowledge applying SDVCS nomenclature in real world clinical situations.
