Congratulations to Dr. Lisa Brenner, PhD, for a newly awarded NIH grant titled “Integrating signals of suicide risk from DoD and VHA data to improve upon suicide risk prevention strategies for combat Veterans.” This grant will aim to merge an existing data set, the Substance Use and Psychological Injury Combat Study (SUPIC), a longitudinal database of over 865,000 Army Active Duty and National Guard/Reserve Soldiers returning from Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn deployments with clinical and administrative data available within the Veterans Health Administration, including National Death Index (NDI) data.
