Longitudinal Ideation Survey Results
Abstract
One area of focus for DoD suicide prevention efforts is the encouragement of help-seeking. Relatively little is known about the factors that motivate or discourage Service members from seeking help. Developing such understandings can bolster DoD suicide prevention efforts to ensure supportive services for all Service members. This executive report presents results from a study, the LIS which focused on examining help seeking practices and experiences among Service members. The LIS was a two-wave study focused on examining and better understanding help-seeking in a targeted sample of Active-Duty Service members. The two waves of the survey were fielded online, one year apart (Wave 1, Spring 2020; Wave 2, Spring 2021). This report is organized into two sections. The first section presents descriptive findings related to help-seeking practices and experiences among those with recent suicidal ideation and the second section examines predictors of help-seeking.
