Mental healthcare providers are well-positioned to discuss firearms and create safety plans; however, many service members do not seek treatment. This study aims to identify potential sociodemographic predictors of recent mental healthcare utilization among firearm-owning service members who report past month distress.Methods: The sample included 268 US military service members. Participants reported whether they attended at least one behavioral health visit in the 3 months prior to participation.Results: Females, individuals of a racial background other than Black or White, older individuals, and those who have never been active-duty were more likely to have attended a session. Additionally, the likelihood of utilization was higher among those who reported past week wish to die and suicidal behaviors in the past year.Conclusion: While certain service members are less likely to have utilized mental healthcare, findings suggest that those with suicidal ideation and access to a firearm are likely to engage in at least one appointment. As such, providing mental healthcare providers with training and resources for promoting secure firearm storage is an important avenue for suicide prevention.","PeriodicalId":39684,"journal":{"name":"Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"e13155"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11886764/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142814373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incidence Rate Ratios (IRRs) and Joinpoint regression assessed patterns of Veteran suicide across seasons, days of the week, and 14 holidays; overall and by sex and age.Results: Incidence of Veteran suicide was highest in summers and on Mondays. Veteran suicide incidence was lower on six holidays: Martin Luther King Jr. Day (IRR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.73-0.93), Presidents' Day (IRR = 0.88, 0.78, 0.99), Memorial Day (IRR = 0.89, CI = 0.79-0.99), Labor Day (IRR = 0.88, CI = 0.78-0.98), Thanksgiving (IRR = 0.81, CI = 0.71-0.92), and Christmas (IRR = 0.78, CI = 0.68-0.89). Suicide incidence was elevated on New Year's Day (IRR = 1.17, CI = 1.05-1.31), particularly among Veterans 25-34 years old (IRR = 1.64, CI = 1.19-2.26). An increasing trend in daily average suicides was indicated from December 30th to January 1st (β = 1.79, p < 0.05). Both seasonal and day of the week effects were present in most subpopulations. Holiday effects were most prevalent among men and varied by age.Conclusions: Veteran suicide incidence was elevated in summer months, on Mondays, and on New Year's Day.

Participants were randomly assigned to one of five vignettes depicting a non-lethal suicide attempt following either general (e.g., failed relationship) or LGBTQ+ specific stressors (e.g., same-sex encounter). Measures assessed perceptions of suicidal behavior, acceptability of suicide, empathy with the decision to attempt suicide, perceived emotional adjustment, suicide intent, and character of the suicidal person. Data were analyzed using a 4 (identity type) × 5 (scenario) between-subject ANCOVAs.Results: Significant differences were found across minority types. Sexual and gender minority participants viewed suicidal behavior more positively and as more acceptable compared to cisgender heterosexual participants. Gender minority participants perceived higher levels of emotional adjustment and lower suicidal intent than all other groups. No significant group differences were found in empathy toward the decision to attempt suicide.Conclusion: The findings suggest that suicide is viewed as permissible and perhaps normalized within LGBTQ+ communities, potentially increasing risk.

Pain avoidance and painful feelings mediated the pathway from interpersonal stress to NSSI/SA, whereas pain arousal mediated the pathway from NSSI/SA to interpersonal stress.Conclusions: Shared impact of interpersonal stress and distinct effects of psychological pain over time on maintaining and distinguishing self-harm behaviors were found.

Psychiatric comorbidities were common, and nearly half of participants reported a suicide attempt history. Participants used an average of four NSSI methods, the most common being wall-punching (85.4%), and endorsed an average of eight distinct functions of NSSI, predominantly for intrapersonal reasons. Regardless of the specific method used, the most common reason that veterans with NSSI disorder engaged in NSSI was to help themselves cope with negative emotions.Conclusions: Findings suggest certain NSSI characteristics are similar among veterans and civilians with current NSSI disorder (e.g., NSSI functions) and differ between them (e.g., NSSI methods).
