Abstract

In this study, we examined the relationship between service injury and the prevalence of suicidal ideation among veterans. Findings showed that service injury was positively correlated with presence of suicidality and veterans who reported service injury with TBI showed greater suicidal ideation than veterans who reported service injury without TBI.
