abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study examines the association of pre- versus post-enlistment timing of first suicide attempt with suicidal ideation, depressive symptoms, single vs. multiple attempts, and highest suicide attempt lethality in an active duty military sample with suicidal thoughts. <br><br>METHOD: Data were pooled from baseline assessments of 784 help-seeking Service Members. <br><br>RESULTS: Adjusting for demographic and military covariates, suicidal ideation was higher for those with a history of suicide attempt. A pre-enlistment suicide attempt was associated with over four times the risk of multiple lifetime attempts. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Pre-enlistment suicide attempts are important to assess as they increased risk of multiple attempts.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
