N2 - Patients receiving outpatient psychiatric treatment who have made two or more lifetime suicide attempts (i.e., multiple attempters) report higher levels of psychopathology and are at increased risk for making additional suicide attempts relative to patients who have never attempted suicide (i.e., ideators) or made only one suicide attempt (i.e., single attempters). The present study examined these relationships among 590 Iraq and Afghanistan era military personnel and veterans using baseline data pooled from three randomized clinical trials. Diagnoses were established using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) or Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI); and history of suicide attempt was established using the Suicide Attempt Self-Injury Interview (SASII). Borderline personality disorder, but no other psychiatric diagnosis, was significantly more common among multiple attempters as compared to ideators and single attempters. Major depressive disorder was significantly more common among single and multiple attempters than ideators, but there was no difference between single and multiple attempters.
RESULTS suggest that borderline personality disorder is most strongly associated with repeated suicide attempts among military personnel and veterans in outpatient psychiatric settings.
