Suicides in Active-Duty Enlisted Navy Personnel

Abstract

The two objectives in this paper were first, to identify potential demographic and service-related risk factors associated with completed suicides among enlisted Navy personnel during a 12-year period, 1974 to 1985, and, second, to examine the severity of rates of completed suicide in the U.S. Navy relative to similar rates in the United States general population and determine the extent to which patterns of completed suicide in the two populations were similar to, or different from, one another. Keywords: Suicide, Navy personnel, Potential demographic risk, Service-related risk, Psychiatry.
