Study Participation

Participation in ASCEND is by invitation only in order to ensure that we receive input from Veterans all across the U.S., including Veterans who have been historically underrepresented (such as women Veterans, racial and ethnic minority Veterans, and rural Veterans). If you are invited to participate, we sincerely hope that you will consider doing so.

We value your trust and prioritize security and privacy of all information and data you share with us. We need your voice – working together, we can prevent Veteran suicide!

The first national wave of ASCEND is now closed for participation. Check back here for updates regarding the launch of additional waves.
