Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of two suicide prevention interventions for individuals released from jail. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the use of Caring Contacts improve subscriber engagement with healthcare services while reducing suicide-related outcomes? and Will providing training and resources to behavioral health providers improve re-engagement with healthcare services for patients recently released from jail? Participants will include (1) subscribers of a managed care organization (MCO) and (2) behavioral health providers within the MCO system. Interventions include sending subscribers Caring Contacts letters for 6-months following jail release and providing resources and training to behavioral health providers to target healthcare re-engagement and suicide prevention.

Primary	Suicide Attempt	A suicide attempt is defined as "engaging in a potentially self-injurious behavior, associated with at least some intent to die as a result of the act." We will assess total number of subsequent attempts using the already-developed Mental Health Research Network (MHRN) algorithm for extracting suicide attempt information from claims data	6-months
