Thanks to more than one million veterans in the Million Veteran Program (MVP), Veterans Affairs (VA) researchers—including Duke Psychiatry's Jean Beckham, PhD, and Nathan Kimbrel, PhD—are helping to change the future of mental health care for veterans. MVP is the largest VA research effort.
Beckham and Kimbrel, the VA principal investigators for the MVP's suicide prevention research project, recently contributed to a video series that highlighted personal stories and experiences from veterans and how researchers are using MVP's data to advance mental health research.
Watch the series' feature video below, and see the links at the bottom of the page for brief topical videos.
“Our hope is that our research will eventually enable us to identify which medications and which therapies are most likely to benefit specific veterans. The MVP program is perfectly poised to really develop precision medicine for mental health care for veterans for the first time.”
— Nathan Kimbrel, PhD
