There is a growing concern about suicide among Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) veterans. We examined the role of postdeployment mental health in associations between deployment stressors and postdeployment suicidal ideation (SI) in a national sample of 2,321 female and male OEF/OIF veterans. Data were obtained via survey, and path analysis was used. For women and men, mental health symptoms largely accounted for associations between deployment stressors and SI; however, they only partly accounted for the sexual harassment and SI association among women. These findings enhance the understanding of the mental health profile of OEF/OIF veterans.
人们越来越关注持久自由行动（OEF）和伊拉克自由行动（OIF）退伍军人中的自杀问题。我们在一个由 2321 名 OEF/OIF 退伍军人组成的全国样本中，研究了部署后心理健康在部署压力源与部署后自杀意念（SI）之间的关系。数据是通过调查获得的，采用了路径分析。对于女性和男性，心理健康症状在很大程度上解释了部署压力源与 SI 之间的关系；然而，它们仅部分解释了女性中性骚扰和 SI 之间的关系。这些发现增进了对 OEF/OIF 退伍军人心理健康状况的理解。
