Predictive Modeling and Concentration of the Risk of Suicide
Objectives. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) evaluated the use of predictive modeling to identify patients at risk for suicide and to supplement ongoing care with risk-stratified interventions. Methods. Suicide data came from the National Death Index. Predictors were measures from VHA clinical records incorporating patient-months from October 1, 2008, to September 30, 2011, for all suicide decedents and 1% of living patients, divided rand…
Suicide Mortality Following Nursing Home Discharge in the Department of Veterans Affairs Health System
Objectives. We assessed suicide rates up to 6 months following discharge from US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) nursing homes. Methods. In VA Minimum Data Set (MDS) records, we identified 281 066 live discharges from the 137 VA nursing homes during fiscal years 2002 to 2008. We used MDS and administrative data to assess resident age, gender, behaviors, pain, and indications of psychoses, bipolar disorder, dementia, and depression. We identif…
Implementation and Early Utilization of a Suicide Hotline for Veterans
Suicide crisis lines have a respected history as a strategy for reducing deaths from suicide and suicidal behaviors. Until recently, however, evidence of the effectiveness of these crisis lines has been sparse. Studies published during the past decade suggest that crisis lines offer an alternative to populations who may not be willing to engage in treatment through traditional mental health settings. Given this promising evidence, in 2007, the De…
Lessons Learned from Mental Health Enhancement and Suicide Prevention Activities in the Veterans Health Administration
The author reflects on suicide among U.S. military veterans and on a program which the U.S. Veterans Health Administration developed to provide clinical services to and prevent suicide among military veterans. He suggests that observations from the administration may provide support for the importance of public health models for suicide prevention. He argues that additional research needs to be conducted on suicide prevention among veterans which…
Prevalence and Characteristics of Suicide Ideation and Attempts Among Active Military and Veteran Participants in a National Health Survey
The relationships between military service and suicide are not clear, and comparatively little is known about the characteristics and correlates of suicide ideation and attempts among those with history of military service. We used data from a national health survey to estimate the prevalence and correlates of suicidal behaviors among veterans and service members in 2 states. The prevalence of suicidal behaviors among Veterans was similar to prev…
Suicide Among Veterans in 16 States, 2005 to 2008
Objectives. We sought to compare suicide rates among veterans utilizing Veterans Health Administration (VHA) services versus those who did not. Methods. Suicide rates from 2005 to 2008 were estimated for veterans in the 16 states that fully participated in the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS), using data from the National Death Index, NVDRS, and VHA records. Results. Between 2005 and 2008, veteran suicide rates differed by age and …

Affective States in Normal and Depressed Older People
Ratings on a 10-item affect checklist yielding composite positive affect and negative affect scores were made daily for 30 days by older people in residential care: 19 were diagnosed as having major depression, 21 had minor depression, and 37 were without psychiatric diagnosis ("normal"). Mean levels of positive affect were highest in normal people and least in those with major depression; negative affect was lowest in normal ones and highest in …
