Why Your Suicide Prevention Program Might Be Failing: The RAND Toolkit Reveals a Shocking Gap
RAND Suicide Prevention Program Evaluation Toolkit
Most military suicide prevention programs are flying blind. A RAND Corporation study found that despite billions spent, fewer than 25% of programs have rigorous evaluation. The RAND Suicide Prevention Program Evaluation Toolkit was developed to change that. In this video, we break down the toolkit's 5-step process, reveal why 50% of users struggled with data analysis, and show how a simple Excel fix could save lives. Dr. Rajeev Ramchand and his team tested this with 12 real-world program managers from the Air Force, Marine Corps, and National Guard. The results? A practical, evidence-based guide that turns good intentions into measurable outcomes. Whether you're a military leader, mental health professional, or just curious about what works, this video will show you the hidden flaws in suicide prevention and how to fix them.
