Clinical Trial Summary

The BRAVO study seeks to determine if dietary supplementation with omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 HUFAs) reduces the risk for serious suicidal behaviors, suicidal thinking, negative emotions, and symptoms associated with suicide risk, in a Veteran and non-Veteran population that is at risk for suicidal behaviors. This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of omega-3 HUFAs among a representative population of US Veterans and non-Veterans already receiving appropriate medical care so that if successful, these results can be readily applied to broader populations in the US.


Clinical Trial Description

The BRAVO study seeks to determine if dietary supplementation with omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 HUFAs) reduces the risk for serious suicidal behaviors, suicidal thinking, negative emotions, and symptoms associated with suicide risk, in a Veteran and non-Veteran population that is at risk for suicidal behaviors. Changes in cognitive processes specific to suicide risk will be evaluated, including implicit associations, response inhibition and sustained attention. Sub-analyses will evaluate efficacy in reducing depressive symptoms, alcohol and nicotine use among Veterans and non-Veterans with concomitant significant depressive symptoms, and alcohol and nicotine use disorders. In addition, a sub-study will utilize functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to evaluate the neuropsychological and neurophysiological effects of the omega-3 HUFAs. This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of omega-3 HUFAs among a representative population of US Veterans and non-Veterans already receiving appropriate medical care so that if successful, these results can be readily applied to broader populations in the US. ;
