Evidence has suggested increased risk for homelessness and suicide among US veterans, but little is known about the associations between housing instability and psychological distress (including suicidal ideation). We examined frequent mental distress (FMD) and suicidal ideation among a probability-based sample of 1767 Nebraska veterans who participated in the 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey who had and had not experienced housing instability in the past 12 months. Veterans experiencing housing instability had increased odds of FMD and suicidal ideation.
有证据表明,美国退伍军人的无家可归和自杀风险增加,但对于住房不稳定与心理困扰(包括自杀意念)之间的关系知之甚少。我们研究了在过去 12 个月内经历和未经历住房不稳定的 1767 名内布拉斯加州退伍军人中,基于概率的样本中的频繁心理困扰(FMD)和自杀意念。经历住房不稳定的退伍军人出现 FMD 和自杀意念的可能性增加。
