TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Childhood and suicidal ideation a clinical military sample: Military unit cohesion and intimate: Relationship as protective factors JO - Journal of social and clinical psychology A1 - Skopp, N.A.

SP - 361 EP - 377 VL - 30 IS - 4 N2 - Suicide risk and protective factors among 5,187 active duty service members who presented for services at a military outpatient behavioral health clinic were examined.

RESULTS indicated that childhood adversity was a signifcant predictor of suicidal ideation even after controlling for legal, work, fnancial, and relationship problems, and psychiatric disorders (alcohol abuse, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder). Childhood adversity was signifcantly higher among service members who reported prior suicide attempts as compared with service members who did not report prior suicide attempts. the presence of an intimate partner was inversely associated with suicidal ideation. Military unit support moderated the relation between childhood adversity and suicidal ideation, such that this association was positive at lower, but not higher, levels of unit support. © 2011 Guilford Publications, Inc.
