Suicidality among veterans: implications of sexual minority status.

John R Blosnich1, Vickie M Mays, Susan D Cochran.   

Abstract

Using the California Quality of Life surveys, we examined suicidal ideation and attempts in 129 lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) veterans and in 315 heterosexual veterans in 2008-2009 and 2012-2013. Although there were no significant differences in the past 12-month suicidal ideation and lifetime attempts, LGB veterans had higher odds of lifetime suicidal ideation than heterosexual veterans (adjusted odds ratio = 3.00; 95% confidence interval = 1.38, 6.53). Suicide assessment and prevention efforts in LGB veterans could benefit from a life-course perspective regarding suicide risk.
