abstract="BACKGROUND: Female veterans experience interpersonal violence (ie, physical and sexual violence) more often than male veterans and nonveteran females. There is  limited knowledge of types of interpersonal violence across the lifespan in relation  to suicidal ideation and suicide attempt. Prior research has also focused on those  accessing the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) care. <br><br>OBJECTIVE: This study  examined if physical and sexual violence at differing time points (ie, premilitary,  during military service) were associated with suicidal ideation and a suicide  attempt at subsequent time points. We anticipated that violence would be associated  with an increased risk of suicidal ideation and attempt; however, given limited  prior research, we were uncertain which types of violence and time points would be  associated with risk. RESEARCH DESIGN: Data from a cross-sectional national survey. SUBJECTS: A total of 407 female veterans using, formerly using, or who never used  VHA care. MEASURES: Suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, physical violence, and  sexual violence were assessed. <br><br>RESULTS: Premilitary sexual, but not physical,  violence was associated with military suicidal ideation. Both premilitary and  military sexual and physical violence were associated with postmilitary suicidal  ideation. Premilitary and military sexual, but not physical, violence were  associated with a postmilitary suicide attempt. These results were maintained after  accounting for VHA use. A significant model for military suicide attempt was not  generated. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of premilitary and military sexual violence among  female veterans is warranted within the context of suicide risk assessment and  prevention. Preventing sexual violence among female veterans may be important for  preventing suicidal ideation and attempt.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
