“…In stark contrast to mental health concerns, soldiers appear willing to seek help for sleep-related problems. Sleep problems are also common among active-duty military, especially while deployed (Peterson et al, 2008). The current findings converge with recent treatment trials showing that brief behavioral interventions for insomnia are associated with decreased depressive symptoms and suicidality post-treatment (Buysse et al, 2011;Manber et al, 2008, in submission;Morin et al, 2006Morin et al, , 2009; NIH Consensus Science Statements).…”

The Denver staff continues to collaborate with the Florida State University site and seek guidance from its senior advisors, the Military External Advisory Board, and the Independent Scientific Peer Review Program. The MSRC is on track with its goals and is financially mindful in leveraging funds and reviewing its infrastructure to increase the funds available to support additional research. The MSRC also submitted a grant application to extend through years 6-10, establishing new research priorities and extending its scope. SUBJECT TERMS• Funding research projects Introduction:The Military Suicide Research Consortium's ultimate goal is suicide prevention in the military, through research, including on primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions, as well as through information management/scientific communications (cataloguing and disseminating knowledge on military suicide). Specifically, suicidal personnel compromise force readiness, place a strain on the healthcare resources of the military, impact unit morale, and take a large emotional toll on the involved friends, family, and commanders. There is significant stigma associated with being suicidal, which limits the extent to which at-risk individuals are willing to seek help. Moreover, decision-makers need a go-to resource for accurate, efficient, and fast answers regarding suicidal behavior as policies and programs are devel...

“…Finally, and particularly relevant for service members deployed to combat, a study assessing sleep disturbances in a deployed environment (Peterson, Goodie, Satterfield, & Brim, 2008) found approximately 75% of study participants rated their quality of sleep significantly worse than before deployment. In this study, sleep efficiency and sleep onset latency were in the range indicating insomnia.…”

“…Sleep disturbance and nightmares are two symptoms that constitute the diagnostic criteria for PTSD [3], and a substantial body of literature has documented sleep difficulties associated with this disorder [4][5][6][7]. For example, a recent study of 156 active-duty U.S. Air Force personnel deployed in Southwest Asia in support of OEF found that 74% reported poor sleep, with the most pronounced difficulties being sleep-onset latency and poor sleep efficiency [8]. Military personnel may continue to experience sleep difficulties after returning from their deployments, particularly if they develop symptoms of PTSD [9][10][11].…”
