Summary
An in-depth analysis of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) Veteran’s experiences with suicidal ideation was conducted. The study included 34 semi-structured interviews with OEF/OIF Veterans on what lead up to disclosure of suicidal ideation during clinical assessments. Overall there were found to be three overarching domains relevant to Veterans’ experiences around suicidal ideation: military culture, difficult deployment experiences, and post-deployment adjustment challenges.
