Suicide prevention programs that specifically target veterans are varied in their implementation and success rates. A scoping review was conducted to examine what types of suicide prevention programs are currently available for US veterans and their effectiveness. From this scoping review, 361 articles were located from two electronic databases, and 26 suicide prevention programs were located through the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) webpage/electronic resources. Of the 361 peer reviewed articles, 33 were classified as highly relevant and selected for full review, and 22 were identified as needing further review for relevance to the topic or target population. Nineteen VA webpage/electronic resources were classified as highly relevant and selected for full review. After implementing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 28 journal articles and 16 VA webpage/electronic resources were included in this scoping review. Although the scoping review demonstrated there is a wide variety of suicide prevention programs available for US veterans, the review also indicated that (a) suicide prevention programs in use by the VA are not being widely disseminated in the peer-reviewed literature and (b) there is significantly more dissemination on the study of causes of suicidality than programs being implemented to prevent suicidal behavior. As a result, available research suggests additional research should be conducted on suicide prevention programs and more dissemination of current suicide prevention activities should take place.","PeriodicalId":93327,"journal":{"name":"Journal of veterans studies","volume":"25 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140697251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This program was called the Joint Recovery Team (JRT) and consisted of retired and medically retired Special Operations Forces (SOF) veterans from across the United States armed forces (i.e., Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force). The project included training 14 veterans in archaeological techniques and an intensive 2-week investigative field project, during which veterans assisted with archaeological target testing, site identification, and recording. A National Park Service (NPS) Maritime Heritage Program grant supported the training and the Department of Defense, Defense Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Agency (DPAA) financially supported the field project. Project leadership undertook training assessments including a program survey, field observations, unstructured interviews, and reflection journals. This article outlines the development of the public archaeology program, training, fieldwork, and assessments and provides a critical reflection of successes and areas for improvement.","PeriodicalId":93327,"journal":{"name":"Journal of veterans studies","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136113027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through 29 interviews with faculty, student affairs professionals, and student veterans, we analyzed (a) how lack of knowledge about student veterans’ military experiences made inclusive and effective student veteran support challenging; (b) how diverging perspectives about higher education as a privilege or earned service, informed by often contrary norms in the military and higher education, led to cultural tension between faculty/staff and student veterans; and (c) how faculty/staff’s position as “gatekeepers” and members of the dominant cultural group in higher education led to an ironic and harmful expectation that student veterans unlearn their military cultural dispositions/identity in order to succeed. This study suggests a need for greater military cultural awareness among faculty/staff, continued critical analysis of the culture and power dynamics that student veterans face navigating higher education, and reconceptualization of what it means to be a veteran-friendly college campus.","PeriodicalId":93327,"journal":{"name":"Journal of veterans studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48723998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite these problems, treatment for this comorbidity can vary widely; and care is often fragmented across separate clinics and providers. The objective of the study was to understand the perspectives of veterans who navigate the treatment system and providers who care for these veterans. This study used qualitative interviews conducted with 9 veterans with SUD and co-occurring PTSD and/or anxiety disorders and 7 Veterans Health Administration mental health providers. Participants completed a semistructured interview that was recorded and transcribed. Interview data were examined through matrix analysis, a rapid qualitative data-compilation technique to organize domains of responses. Results showed that veterans believe that SUD and PTSD and/or anxiety symptoms are linked, and that treatment for both SUD and the disorders simultaneously could be beneficial. Interviews with providers found that factors of the healthcare system such as siloed clinics serve as barriers to optimal treatment and that co-occurring disorder treatment requires unique skill, training, and dedicated time to treat. Results of these interviews inform gaps in the delivery of care for co-occurring SUD, PTSD, and anxiety disorders and potential avenues to improve care delivery, including transdiagnostic interventions and system-focused innovations.","PeriodicalId":93327,"journal":{"name":"Journal of veterans studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42522154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the study was to ascertain the experience of study and the benefits of the scholarship fund for veteran scholars, as well as identify what they needed to be successful in their studies. This study took a qualitative participatory research approach, which involved 24 semistructured telephone interviews with 14 veteran scholars over a period of 5 months, followed by a live online event to feedback the findings of the interviews and look to the future of study for the veterans. The two main benefits of the scholarship fund were that the OUs open entry system meant that a lack of formal qualifications was not a barrier to study, and through the DVSF, study was free. Although the university offered a range of supportive services there was a perceived misalignment between the support the veterans were used to during their military service and the support that was provided by the OU, which led to frustrations. Despite this finding there was a perception by the support service at the OU that the veterans were a hard-to-reach group, and recognition that a community of support was needed. Both issues were partly addressed through an online student hub live event. The support services at the OU worked alongside the evaluation project team to devise a bespoke programme that brought many of the veterans together for the first time. The DVSF has been successful in providing study to disabled veterans. The next step is to build a community of peer support for the veterans as they progress in their studies to meet their career goals.","PeriodicalId":93327,"journal":{"name":"Journal of veterans studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67757158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
