Predictive Analytics to Reduce Suicide Attempts for Transitioning Veterans
with Joseph Geraci, PhD
To date, there has not been a precision medicine approach to address the significant increase in suicide attempts as Veterans transition to civilian life. Given partnerships between the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs and nonprofit public private partners, there is now a precision medicine approach that provides a stepped-care intervention approach based on predictive analytics. This presentation will provide specific information on the DoD STARRS predictive analytics model and resulting interventions, namely the Veteran Sponsorship Initiative.
Presentation Objectives:
At the conclusion of this educational program, learners will be able to:
- Describe the risk factors that contribute to the elevated prevalence rates of suicide attempts for Servicemembers as they transition to civilian life;
- Explain how the recently developed DoD STARRS practical risk calculator for suicidal behavior is being utilized to categorize transitioning Veterans based on risk-level;
- Summarize how the VA is leveraging predictive analytic tools to provide stepped-care interventions for transitioning Veterans, especially the Veteran Sponsorship Initiative.
Program Description:
The Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Centers (MIRECC) at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx is an international leader in research and treatment of Severe Mental Illness (SMI). The center pursues a discovery-to-recovery approach to determine the causes, identify predictors, and develop treatments for individuals with SMI, with emphasis on schizophrenia and suicide. The topics for this series consist of innovative treatments that we have created/tested and insights that have helped to develop that inform clinical care.
