Abstract
STARRS-LS, the longitudinal successor to the groundbreaking Army STARRS research conducted from 2009 to 2015, is the largest study of military suicide ever undertaken, and in addition has yielded a wealth of information about a variety of other health issues relevant to the military. STARRS-LS seeks to extend the original effort by continuing to follow the original participants, expanding the Historical Administrative Data Study and using Big Data techniques to develop knowledge from it, and by combining survey and health outcome data with genetic analyses from samples provided by research participants.
