three aims: (1) Collect baseline data on
the knowledge and attitudes of adult US
citizens living in specified communities
about veterans, veteran suicide, and
resources available to veterans to reduce
suicide, prior to the implementation of
suicide prevention programs; (2) collect
follow-up data in the same communities
to assess whether those knowledge and
attitudes have changed over time; and
(3) determine whether the programs and
policies implemented by a community
resulted in positive change in
knowledge and attitudes.
The data will be utilized by the Office
of Mental Health and Suicide
Prevention in VA Central Office to
measure the return on investment of
significant resources that have been
invested to support communities in
their efforts to reduce veteran suicide.
Specifically, the Community-Based
Interventions (CBI) arm of VA’s
‘‘Suicide Prevention 2.0’’ (SP2.0)
program has launched two different
initiatives whose goals are to increase
the successful implementation of best
practices to prevent veteran suicide in
local communities. The data will allow
VA to measure a baseline level of
expected outcomes, follow-up levels,
and explore the role of new programs in
any changes, as well as inform program
planning and evaluation.
In addition, the data collected will be
used by State teams that are engaged in
the Governor’s Challenge (GC) initiative.
GC is one of the initiatives supported by
SP2.0 and is structured so that State
teams are provided training and
technical assistance by VA to expand
their efforts to implement suicide
prevention programs in their State. This
data collection will assist the State
teams to assess the effects of their new
programming or policies.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 2,500
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once
annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10,000.
By direction of the Secretary.
