“…It is well established in the literature that service women and released or retired women Veterans face distinct sex-and gender-specific risks for injuries and illnesses. 13 The reviewed research on women Veterans covers a long list of concerns: posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 38,39 depression, 40,41 selfharm and suicide, 42,43 eating disorders, 44,45 insomnia, 46,47 chronic pain conditions, 48,49 reproductive health, 50,51 sexual health, 52,53 traumatic brain injuries, 54,55 musculoskeletal conditions, 56,57 cardiovascular conditions, 58,59 irritable bowel syndrome, 60 cancer, 61,62 diabetes, 63,64 and more. Increasingly, the research recognizes the complex multi-factorial nature of women Veterans' health challenges by addressing correlates between mental and physical health conditions and delineating links to military-related factors.…”

“…This has prompted recognition of the need to understand gender differences in the prevalence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, risk and protective factors, suicide methods, suicide prevention preferences and needs, and efficacy and effectiveness of interventions to prevent suicide among veterans [4•, 5, 6, 7•]. It has also prompted research focused specifically on women veterans, such as examining the prevalence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors [8] and understanding the acceptability of suicide risk assessment and prevention in settings where women veterans commonly use healthcare [9 •]. These initial efforts have yielded important information.…”

Rates of lifetime suicidal ideation and suicide attempt are highly prevalent among women veterans, with 47.9% and 17.7% of women veterans in an anonymous survey reporting such experiences [8]. Women veterans also report significantly higher rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt than veteran men: in a recent study of post-9/11 veterans, lifetime suicidal ideation and suicide attempt were, respectively, 1.2 and 2.2 times more prevalent among women compared to their men counterparts [7•].…”
