This article recently published in Psychiatric Services reviews methods to identify individuals at increased risk of suicide and the effectiveness of health care interventions, with a focus on military and veteran populations in the United States.

Similarly, the authors conclude that studies of individual therapies and population-level interventions provide inconclusive evidence to support their use.
