Summary

The association of military service history with past-year suicidal ideation and past-30-days mental distress in a sample of individuals was examined. Military service was defined as current or former active-duty service or National Guard or Reserve service. Results showed that military participants had higher odds of mental distress in the past 30 days than civilians.
