Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study obtained the perspectives of 11 providers employed in Veteran Affairs (VA) primary care clinics across 4 states regarding the factors that influence the assessment and management of suicide risk. Qualitative data was analyzed using a hybrid inductive-deductive thematic analysis approach. Themes highlighted the impact of a trusting patient–provider relationship, multidisciplinary team-based care, education about suicide prevention from integrated behavioral health providers, reliable access to mental health care, and VA system-wide suicide prevention efforts in supporting generalists' ability to effectively assess and manage veterans' suicide. Recommendations for enhancing evidence-based care for suicide risk in primary care are discussed.
