研究了2001-2009年(N = 874)与士兵自杀相关的患病率和风险因素。军队自杀率从2001年的每10万人9人上升到2009年的每10万人22人。2001年至2007年,士兵自杀率低于平民,但2007年后高于平民。军队自杀率在男性、部署经验和精神健康诊断/治疗史中不成比例地高;非洲裔美国人则较低。许多涉及计划(38%),沟通(21%),酒精(19%)或药物(8%)。许多人有法律的问题(31%),高压力负荷(90%),自伤史(10%),以及其他因素之前进入军队(31%)。理解军事人员自杀的影响进行了讨论。
Prevalence and risk factors associated with soldiers' suicides 2001-2009 (N = 874) were examined. Army suicide rates increased from 9 per 100,000 in 2001 to 22 per 100,000 in 2009. Soldier suicides were lower than civilians from 2001 to 2007, but higher than civilians after 2007. Army suicides were disproportionately higher for men, deployment experience, and a history of a mental health diagnosis/treatment; and lower for African Americans. Many involved planning (38%), communication (21%), alcohol (19%), or drugs (8%). Many had legal problems (31%), high stress loads (90%), a history of self-injury (10%), and other contributing factors prior to entry into the Army (31%). Implications for understanding suicide among military personnel are discussed.
