Abstract
We examined suicidal ideation among 399 active-duty Soldiers and Marines engaged in mental health treatment. Using a generalized linear model (GLM) controlling for demographic and military factors, depression, and positive traumatic brain injury (TBI) screen, we confirmed our hypothesis that self-report measures of current post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms uniquely predicted suicidal ideation. The association between PTSD severity and suicidal ideation was moderated by gender, with women at higher risk as PTSD severity increased. Female Soldiers and Marines with high levels of PTSD should receive additional monitoring and intervention. Self-report measures may aid with risk assessment and identify symptom-related distress associated with suicide risk.
