title: Sociodemographic Correlates of Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors Among College Student Service Members/Veterans.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of the study is to quantify the lifetime, past-year, and past-month incidence rates of suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts; frequency of suicide attempts; and suicide attempt methods among college student service members/veterans.
  
  
  METHODS
  Four hundred twenty-two college student service members/veterans completing an online survey from January to October 2013.
  
  
  METHODS
  An anonymous online survey was conducted.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Lifetime incidence rates were 33.4% (ideation), 13.7% (plan), and 6.9% (attempt). Past-year incidence rates were 14.7% (ideation), 3.6% (plan), and 0.7% (attempt). Past-month incidence rates were 7.6% (ideation), 1.9% (plan), and 0.5% (attempt). Rates among student service member/veterans were similar to general college student population rates. Native American student service members/veterans report significantly increased rates of ideation, plans, and attempts.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Observed rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors among student service members/veterans are comparable to general college study rates, but Native American student service members/veterans demonstrate increased risk.
