Healio (10/26, Gramigna) reports, “A universal prevention program effectively reduced suicidal ideation and depression symptoms among a general Air Force population,” researchers concluded in a study that “sought to determine whether Wingman-Connect, a network health suicide and depression prevention program for the United States Air Force, reduced suicidal ideation, depression and occupational problems among Airmen-in-training vs. a stress management program.” The research “took place at a U.S. Air Force technical school among 1,485 participants in 215 classes.” The findings of the “cluster randomized clinical trial” were published online in JAMA Network Open.
