Veteran suicide: investigating the historical and social dimensions

这个项目旨在通过对政府、军队和社区从1914年到现在理解、管理和服务退伍军人的方式进行历史和文化分析，来解决退伍军人自杀问题。该项目将产生新的知识，超越传统的医疗和文化评估，探索老兵自杀的更广泛的历史、文化和社会学关系，包括民事和军事关系，以及退伍军人部门和家庭和社区的影响。该项目将开发一项创新的调查，以形成关于退伍军人的纵向社会健康和福祉数据集的基础，并有助于提供政策和服务，以减少退伍军人自杀和改善他们的福祉。

This project aims to address veteran suicide by conducting an historical and cultural analysis of the ways government, the military and the community have understood, governed, and serviced veterans from 1914-present. This project will generate new knowledge, moving beyond orthodox medical and cultural assessments to explore wider historical, cultural and sociological relations of veteran suicide, including civil military relations, and the influence of the veteran sector and families and community. The project will develop an innovative survey that will form the foundation of a longitudinal social health and wellbeing dataset on veterans, and contribute to policy and service provision to reduce veteran suicide and improve their wellbeing.
