Abstract

Background: Low-income veterans are a group that are at high risk for suicidal behaviors and require clinical attention and research.

Methods: This brief report analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of 985 low-income veterans participating in the National Veteran Homeless and Other Poverty Experiences (NV-HOPE) study in 2021. The lifetime prevalence and correlates of three levels of suicidal behaviors were analyzed, including suicidal ideation (SI), having a suicidal plan (SP), and making a suicide attempt (SA).

Results: In the sample, 17.6% reported any SI, 7.0% reported any SP, and 4.5% reported any SA. Multivariable analyses revealed that compared to veterans who only reported SI, those who reported SP had overall lower mental health functioning scores (aOR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.95-0.99). Compared to veterans who reported only SP, those who reported SA were two times more likely to be unmarried (aOR = 2.38, 95% = 1.09-5.30).

Conclusion: These findings suggest a few factors may be driving differences between veterans who engage in different levels of suicidal behaviors, and these factors may be important treatment targets.

在低收入退伍军人中区分与自杀意念、计划和企图相关的个体特征。

背景：低收入退伍军人是自杀行为的高危群体，需要临床关注和研究。方法：本简短报告分析了参加2021年全国退伍军人无家可归和其他贫困经历（NV-HOPE）研究的985名低收入退伍军人的全国代表性样本的数据。分析了自杀意念（SI）、有自杀计划（SP）和有自杀企图（SA）三种自杀行为水平的终生患病率及其相关性。结果：在样本中，17.6%报告了任何SI， 7.0%报告了任何SP， 4.5%报告了任何SA。多变量分析显示，与仅报告SI的退伍军人相比，报告SP的退伍军人总体心理健康功能评分较低（aOR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.95-0.99）。与仅报告SP的退伍军人相比，报告SA的退伍军人未婚的可能性高2倍（aOR = 2.38, 95% = 1.09-5.30）。结论：这些发现表明，一些因素可能导致不同程度自杀行为的退伍军人之间的差异，这些因素可能是重要的治疗目标。
