创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）作为自杀意念的危险因素，在伊拉克和阿富汗战争退伍军人（N = 407）转介退伍军人事务部精神卫生保健。作者还检查了患有创伤后应激障碍的退伍军人中是否存在共病精神障碍会增加自杀意念的风险。与非PTSD退伍军人相比，PTSD筛查阳性的退伍军人有自杀意念的可能性是非PTSD退伍军人的4倍多。在PTSD筛查阳性的退伍军人中（n = 202），相对于仅患有PTSD的退伍军人，两种或多种共病疾病筛查阳性的退伍军人自杀意念的风险高5.7倍。研究结果与确定伊拉克和阿富汗战争退伍军人自杀行为的风险有关。
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was examined as a risk factor for suicidal ideation in Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans (N = 407) referred to Veterans Affairs mental health care. The authors also examined if risk for suicidal ideation was increased by the presence of comorbid mental disorders in veterans with PTSD. Veterans who screened positive for PTSD were more than 4 times as likely to endorse suicidal ideation relative to non-PTSD veterans. Among veterans who screened positive for PTSD (n = 202), the risk for suicidal ideation was 5.7 times greater in veterans who screened positive for two or more comorbid disorders relative to veterans with PTSD only. Findings are relevant to identifying risk for suicide behaviors in Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans.
