Rural community members’ experiences and perceptions regarding lethal means safety in the context of suicide and accidental death rates
BACKGROUND: Together with Veterans (TWV), a community-based suicide prevention intervention, is being implemented in rural locations across the United States, with individuals designing and implementing action plans based on community-specific strengths and needs. To increase understanding regarding lethal means safety (LMS) among those living in 3 diverse rural communities where TWV is being implemented (Mississippi [MS], New Mexico [NM], Oregon…
I just needed somebody to talk to”
The U.S. Surgeon General in 2023 declared an "epidemic of loneliness and social isolation" in the United States, conditions that impact health risks, including suicidal ideation. U.S. women military veterans may face particular challenges to social connection due to relatively small numbers of women veterans within civilian communities as well as gender-specific military experiences that can increase isolation and disrupt social relationships. Th…
Trauma exposure, mental health, and mental health treatment among LGBTQ+ veterans and nonveterans
The study was the first to demonstrate that LGBTQ+ veterans have a greater prevalence of PTEs and other stressors and report worse mental health symptoms. These findings suggest that LGBTQ+ veterans may have unmet mental health treatment needs and need interventions to increase engagement in needed mental health services, especially for depression and anxiety.

Veteran suicide prevention learning collaborative
The majority of Veterans who died by suicide in 2021 had not recently used Veterans Health Administration (VA) services. A public health approach to Veteran suicide prevention has been prioritized as part of the VA National Strategy for Preventing Veteran Suicide . Aligned with this approach, VA's Patient Safety Center of Inquiry-Suicide Prevention Collaborative piloted a Veteran suicide prevention learning collaborative with both clinical and no…
Suicidal Ideation and Suicide Attempts Among Women Veterans Using VA Reproductive Health Care
Examining differences in mental health and mental health service use among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and heterosexual veterans
Suicide Rates by Age and Time Among American Indian and Alaskan Native Veterans
OBJECTIVE: Although recent work has highlighted high rates of suicide among American Indian and Alaska Native individuals who served in the US military, to date, a comprehensive evaluation of age-specific suicide rates, over time, has yet to be conducted. METHODS: Population-based retrospective cohort study. Average annual suicide rates (2005-2020) were computed. The cohort included 207,955 Native Veterans who were alive as of January 1, 2005, an…
Veteran Engagement in Survey Research to Prevent Suicide
Suicide rates among veterans remain high, underscoring the necessity of identifying modifiable suicide risk and protective factors that can be targeted through public health approaches. One way to ensure that survey-based research yields information necessary to translate findings into patient-centered interventions is through veteran engagement. The current manuscript describes perspectives of members of a national Veterans Engagement Board (VEB…
Development and validation of a brief warfare exposure measure among U.S. Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans
The DRRI-2 WE-SF is a psychometrically sound measure of direct exposures to warfare and its consequences. This measure of proximal warfare exposure retains the strong properties of the full measure while significantly reducing completion time. These properties make the DRRI-2 WE-SF a useful tool for efficiently evaluating proximal warfare exposure among individuals who have served in both combat and noncombat roles. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) …
Strengths and vulnerabilities
Despite their greater vulnerability to experiencing health conditions, the newest generation of post-9/11 U.S. veterans report experiencing similar or better outcomes than non-veterans in many aspects of their lives. Findings underscore the value of examining a wider range of health and well-being outcomes in veteran research and highlight a number of important directions for intervention, public health education, policy, and research related to …
Women Veterans’ Perspectives on Suicide Prevention in Reproductive Health Care Settings
Suicide Among American Indian and Alaska Native Veterans Who Use Veterans Health Administration Care
BACKGROUND: American Indian and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) veterans may be at elevated risk for suicide, but little is known about suicide among this population. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of AI/AN veterans who received health care services provided or paid for by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) between October 1, 2002, and September 30, 2014, and who were alive as of September 30, 2003. Age-specific and age-adjus…
Associations between justice involvement and PTSD and depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempt among post-9/11 veterans
Justice-involved veterans appear to be a vulnerable population experiencing heightened psychiatric symptoms and increased risk for recent suicidal ideation and lifetime suicide attempt. Programs within VHA and the community are important for connecting justice-involved veterans to mental health services and mitigating suicide risk.

Differences in childhood adversity, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempt among veterans and nonveterans
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are robustly associated with physical and mental health problems over the life span. Relatively limited research has examined the breadth of ACEs among military veteran populations, for whom ACEs may be premilitary traumas associated with suicidal ideation and attempt. Using data from the Comparative Health Assessment Interview Research Study, a large national survey sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veteran…
Accelerating Research on Suicide Risk and Prevention in Women Veterans Through Research-Operations Partnerships
Research to inform suicide prevention tailored to meet women veterans' needs is essential; however, many priorities and challenges remain unaddressed. Although Work Group efforts have achieved funding gains, further work to formalize, promote and meet the demands of a suicide prevention research agenda for women veterans requires is ongoing focus
Gender Differences in Recovery Needs After a Suicide Attempt
BACKGROUND: Appropriate after-care for the estimated 1.4 million people with nonfatal suicide attempts each year in the United States is critical, yet little research has focused on recovery needs after an attempt and whether important gender differences in those needs may exist. In this study, we examined gender differences in recovery needs after a suicide attempt among a national sample of women and men veterans. METHODS: We interviewed 25 wom…
Gender Differences in Lifetime Prevalence and Onset Timing of Suicidal Ideation and Suicide Attempt Among Post-9/11 Veterans and Nonveterans
BACKGROUND: Rising US suicide rates are particularly notable among military veterans, especially women. It is unknown whether these differences extend to suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempts (SA), which are major predictors of suicide. Literature comparing SI and SA prevalence and timing of onset between veterans and nonveterans is limited. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to estimate and compare SI and SA prevalence and onset ti…
Female Veterans’ Willingness to Seek Veterans Health Administration and Non–Veterans Health Administration Services for Suicidal Thoughts and Mental Health Concerns
BACKGROUND: The extent to which female veterans are willing to seek Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and non-VHA care when they are suicidal or experiencing mental health (MH) concerns is unknown. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to: (1) examine whether current, past, and never VHA using female veterans' willingness to seek VHA care differs from their willingness to seek non-VHA care if suicidal or experiencing MH symptoms; (2) e…
Advancing Knowledge of Suicide Risk and Prevention Among Women
We have reached a 30-year high in the rate of suicide in the United States, with a notable increase in the suicide rate among women.1 Suicide prevention among women has become especially important within the US Departments of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA), as higher rates of suicide among women veterans has been observed compared with women nonveterans.2 Further, in this issue, Hoffmire and colleagues report that women veterans are 35% …
