Interventions

• eScreening — OTHER
  eScreening is a clinical patient self report system that allows Veterans to complete self report screens, including assessments of depression, PTSD and alcohol use, using a secure connection from any internet connected device.

  Assessment of depression, PTSD and alcohol use using verbal and paper-based screening methods.

Study Details

Electronic screening is effective for timely detection of, and intervention for, suicidal ideation and other mental health symptoms. The VA eScreening program is a patient self-report electronic screening system that has shown promise for the efficient and effective collection of mental and physical health information among Veterans. However, additional effectiveness and implementation research is warranted to evaluate the impact of eScreening within VHA. This study addresses questions of the impact of eScreening compared to screening as usual, while evaluating a multi-component implementation strategy (MCIS) for optimal enterprise rollout of eScreening in VA Transition Care Management clinics.

Arms

• Active Comparator: Screening As Usual/Pre-implementation
  During this 3 month pre-implementation period, usual screening methods were used (i.e., verbal and paper-based screening).
• Experimental: eScreening Implementation
  During this 9 month active implementation phase, eScreening was implemented using the MCIS.

Primary Outcome Measure
