Ronald Kessler studies suicide risk in veterans. His research is under serious threat because of federal actions against Harvard. Kessler, a professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School, is developing prediction models to try to pinpoint who is at risk of suicide and determine the best ways to help them. The work has enormous potential to save veterans’ lives. “The suicide rates are going to go up,” says Kessler. “This is exactly the time that the kind of models we’ve developed are needed.” #Harvard #Research #HarvardMed
