Cannabis use has been indicated as a risk factor for suicide in veterans. This study of Gulf War veterans tested the relationship between self-report past year cannabis use and (a) past year suicidal ideation and (b) risk for suicidal behavior. Data were from a national sample ( = 1126) of Gulf War veterans. Logistic regression models indicated cannabis use was associated with past year suicidal ideation and elevated risk for suicidal behavior, independent of key covariates. In corroboration with research on other military populations, this study indicates a potentially concerning association between cannabis use and suicide risk in Gulf War veterans.
大麻使用已被指出是退伍军人自杀的一个风险因素。这项针对海湾战争退伍军人的研究检验了自我报告的过去一年大麻使用与（a）过去一年自杀意念和（b）自杀行为风险之间的关系。数据来自全国海湾战争退伍军人样本（ = 1126）。逻辑回归模型表明，大麻使用与过去一年的自杀意念和自杀行为风险增加有关，这与关键协变量无关。与其他军事人群的研究相呼应，这项研究表明，在海湾战争退伍军人中，大麻使用与自杀风险之间存在潜在的令人担忧的关联。
