N2  - In 2014, the Office of Suicide Prevention of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reported that veterans have a 21% higher risk for suicide when compared to civilian adults. Greater prevalence of mental health conditions, such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as substance use disorders, place veterans at a higher risk for suicide. Early identification of high-risk patients allows for appropriate intervention and assistance to recovery. Understanding the unique risk factors associated with veterans, being aware of the warning signs of suicidality, possessing knowledge of medications associated with an increased risk of suicide, and being familiar with available suicide-related resources can better equip pharmacists with the tools needed to help prevent suicide in this population. © 2016, Jobson Publishing Corporation.
