N2  - How can psychologists know which of the many variables in an individual's clinical presentation are most salient to that person's suicide risk? Such certainty requires an empirically validated prediction model that is specific to the population served. Data obtained through the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Office of Special Investigations and the USAF Institute for Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health Risk Analysis were analyzed using multivariate strategies of prediction based on an empirically validated model of suicide prediction (G. K. Brown, A. T. Beck, R. A. Steer, & J. R. Grisham, 2000) and suicide completer versus noncompleter status. The usefulness of the model to the USAF sample are discussed, and several factors unique to a military population are highlighted.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
