Abstract
Risk factors associated with suicide in current and former US Military personnel.
LeardMann, C.~~Powell, T.~~et al.
Beginning in 2005, the incidence of suicide deaths in the US military began to sharply increase. In this sample of current and former military personnel observed July 1, 2001-December 31, 2008, suicide risk was independently associated with male sex and mental disorders but not with military-specific variables. These findings may inform approaches to mitigating suicide risk in this population.
