Military suicide and parasuicidal behaviors have been increasing over the last several years, with rates highest in the deployed environment. This article presents a deployment cycle-specific suicide prevention plan utilized during one U.S. Army division's 15-month deployment to Iraq.
Education, identification, and intervention programs were implemented at each phase of the deployment cycle based on the specific unit activities and predicted stressors.
During the deployment, there was an annual suicide rate of 16/100,000 within the trial cohort, compared to a theater rate of 24/100,000. Peaks in suicidal ideation and behaviors occurred during months two, six, and twelve of deployment.
A deployment cycle prevention program may decrease rates of suicide in the combat environment. This program may serve as a model for other suicide prevention programs.
在过去的几年中，军事自杀和自杀未遂行为一直在增加，在部署环境中的发生率最高。本文介绍了一种针对美国陆军某师在伊拉克部署 15 个月期间使用的特定部署周期的自杀预防计划。
根据部署周期中每个阶段的具体单位活动和预测的压力源，实施了教育、识别和干预计划。
在部署期间，试验队列中的年度自杀率为 16/100000，而战区的自杀率为 24/100000。在部署的第 2、6 和 12 个月期间，自杀意念和行为的发生率达到高峰。
部署周期预防计划可能会降低战斗环境中的自杀率。该计划可以作为其他自杀预防计划的模型。
