Preventing Suicide by Preventing Lethal Injury: The Need to Act on What We Already Know
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: In this article the author reflects on the preventing lethal injury and suicide among active members of the U.S. military and among U.S. military veterans. He suggests that the U.S. military, the U.S. medical community and the U.S. Veterans Health Administration need to help remove and store firearms from the homes of individuals who are at high risk of suicide. He argues that research needs to be conducted on how to best communicate firearm safety messages to veterans and military members.
