Study Summary
This trial tests if Wingman-Connect training can reduce suicide attempts in the USAF, with 51 months of implementation and data collection.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for US Air Force bases, specifically those in the Air Force Global Strike Command and Air Mobility Command. It involves around 96 implementers responsible for delivering Wingman-Connect training to first-term Airmen, with an estimated total of 17,400 Airmen participating across all bases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the impact of Wingman-Connect, a suicide prevention program implemented at eight operational AF bases. The effectiveness will be measured by analyzing base-level suicide attempt rates before and after the intervention over a period of 51 months using a randomized stepped-wedge design.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on implementing a training program rather than a medical intervention, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be psychological impacts or changes in behavior among participants that could arise from their involvement in the program.

Group I: Wingman-ConnectExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Wingman-Connect (Wyman et al., 2020) uses a network health theoretical framework to strengthen two suicide-protective functions of social networks: 1) Strengthening positive social bonds, and 2) Building healthy norms that incentivize adaptive coping. Training will be delivered in First Term Airmen classes among all Airmen arriving at base during the study period.
