Abstract
JOHNSON CITY (Oct. 13, 2020) – Three members of the East Tennessee State University College of Nursing have received a $20,000 grant that will allow them to implement an evidence-based suicide prevention program at four Health Wagon clinics in rural Appalachia.
Dr. Christine Mullins, Dr. Teresa Carnevale, and Dr. Vallire Hooper were the 2020 recipients of the Sigma Theta Tau International/American Nurses Credentialing Center Evidence-Based Practice Implementation Grant awarded by Sigma Theta Tau International, a global honor society for nurses.
“The goal of our program is to identify people who are at-risk for suicide in the primary care setting and promote prompt referrals to behavioral health specialists,” saidMullins, assistant professor in the College of Nursing. “This grant money is going to be used to implement a suicide prevention program and to develop a resource guide that’s going to be delivered to all of the providers at the Health Wagon. We will provide them with an educational program, educational toolkits, a suicide prevention algorithm, and a suicide prevention point-of-care contact from Frontier Health via telehealth, then monitor their use and effectiveness.”
