REACH VET outreach for veterans at highest statistical risk
이 언어의 본문은 아직 없어 영어로 보여 줍니다.
The source is McCarthy and colleagues, Psychiatric Services, February 2023, a program evaluation of REACH VET in the Veterans Health Administration. The model runs monthly on patients seen in the prior two years, and policy expects outreach to the top 0.1% at each facility. By late 2020 nearly all identified veterans had been contacted and had care reviewed. After age and sex adjustment, the paper associated the program with a 5% lower probability of a documented suicide attempt, plus more outpatient contact and safety planning. That is a program association, not a prediction of an individual death.

Key public facts
- REACH VET is a Veterans Health Administration program. A statistical model flags a very small top tier of risk each month.
- The model runs on patients seen in the prior two years. Policy expects outreach to the top 0.1% tier at each facility.
- A clinician who knows the patient reviews the chart and makes contact. Identification is not a diagnosis of suicidal intent.
- A program evaluation reported that by late 2020 nearly all identified veterans had been contacted and had care reviewed.
- After age and sex adjustment, the paper associated the program with a 5% lower probability of a documented suicide attempt, plus more outpatient contact and safety planning. It does not say the score predicts an individual death.
