- Lawrence, K. A., Vogt, D., Dugan, A. J., Nigam, S., Slade, E., & Smith, B. N. (2022). Psychosocial functioning deficits impacts and are impacted by suicidal ideation in post-9/11 women veterans. Journal of Affective Disorders Reports, 9, Article 100361. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jadr.2022.100361
- Using a sample of 183 women Veterans who had separated from the military, this study examined the bidirectional associations between changes in psychosocial functioning (i.e., work, intimate relationship, and parental functioning) and changes in suicidal ideation (i.e., thoughts about killing oneself) across 2 time points (i.e., 5 and 7 years after their separation from the military). Overall, there was evidence of bidirectional associations such that changes in elements of psychosocial functioning explained changes in suicidal ideation, and, at the same time, changes in suicidal ideation were implicated in altered psychosocial functioning.
