Following the death of a Veteran by suicide, BHAP receives post-mortem medical data and interviewee contact information from VHA suicide prevention coordinators. Data include relevant historical activities and related medical concerns as reviewed in the Veteran's medical record. Interviewees typically include a Veteran's family or close friends. Interviewee data includes behavioral information about the Veteran prior to their death. Data are collected at the VISN 2 Center of Excellence for Suicide Prevention and are cleaned, processed, and managed by statistical staff and program analysts on behalf of Mental Health Services.
