N2  - The Home-Based Mental Health Evaluation (HOME) program, which engages veterans in care following psychiatric hospitalization, was evaluated. Thirty-four veterans who participated in the HOME program were compared to 34 veterans from a matched archival control group on treatment engagement and implementation outcomes. Veterans who participated in the HOME program were significantly more likely to engage in care, engaged in care more quickly, and attended significantly more individual mental health appointments. Veterans reported high levels of satisfaction. <br><br>RESULTS suggest that the HOME program is effective at engaging veterans in care during the high-risk period of time following psychiatric hospitalization.<br><br>© 2017 The American Association of Suicidology.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
