# Connecting National Guard Service Members Through Education in Crisis Line Facilitation Training

**NCT ID:** [NCT05405231](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05405231)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Phase:** NA
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 538
- **Lead Sponsor:** University of Michigan
- **Collaborators:** Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Michigan Army National Guard
- **Conditions:** Suicide
- **Start Date:** 2023-02-11
- **Completion Date:** 2025-07-31

## Brief Summary

National Guard (NG) are affected by suicide at a much higher rate than civilians. The Military and Veterans Crisis Line (MVCL) is not being used as often as we would expect. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a group-based training session will impact awareness and use of the Military and Veterans Crisis Line (MVCL) among members of the National Guard.

- **Minimum age:** 18 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** Yes

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Michigan Army National Guard member
* Associated with a unit with more than 25 members

Exclusion Criteria:

\- Unable to provide informed consent
```

## Arms

- **Crisis Line Facilitation (CLF)** (EXPERIMENTAL) — Crisis Line Facilitation (CLF) is a promising translational strategy designed to increase Military and Veteran's Crisis Line (MVCL) use among NG members during periods of elevated suicidal risk by addressing individual-level barriers.
- **Passive Implementation** (ACTIVE_COMPARATOR) — The PI condition includes an educational resource brochure describing the Military and Veteran's Crisis Line (MVCL), including the phone number for the crisis line, as well as other mental health services available to National Guard members.

## Interventions

- **Crisis Line Facilitation (CLF)** (BEHAVIORAL) — Crisis Line Facilitation (CLF) is a promising translational strategy designed to increase MVCL use among NG members during periods of elevated suicidal risk by addressing individual-level barriers.
- **Passive Implementation** (BEHAVIORAL) — The PI condition includes an educational resource brochure describing the MVCL, including the phone number for the crisis line, as well as other mental health services available to National Guard members.

## Primary Outcomes

- **Utilization of the Military and Veterans Crisis Line (MVCL)** _(time frame: 6 month follow-up)_ — Utilization is defined by contacting the MVCL via any method (call, text message, or online chat) at least one time following study enrollment. Data will be collected via self-report survey items.
