Using Structured Telephone Follow-up Assessments to Improve Suicide-Related Adverse Event Detection.

Data were collected using a combination of chart reviews and structured telephone follow-up assessments postenrollment. Beyond chart reviews, structured telephone follow-up assessments identified 45% of the total AEs in our study. Notably, detection of suicide attempts significantly varied by approach with 53 (18%) detected by chart review, 173 (59%) by structured telephone follow-up assessments, and 69 (23%) marked as duplicates. Findings provide support for utilizing multiple methods for more robust AE detection in suicide research.en-USBehavior and Behavior MechanismsEmergency MedicinePsychiatric and Mental HealthPsychiatryJournal Articlehttps://escholarship.umassmed.edu/emed_pp/815635982emed_pp/81
