Military Psychology Vol 24, Number 5, September-October 2012, pp.488-512 (119)Summary: Studies have yielded consistent variables associated with military suicides: age (17 to 30 years), gender (male), race (white), and previous mental health conditions. Military experience variables have shown little associations with suicide. Taken together, findings may be explained, in part, by age-specific psychosocial tasks (e.g intimacy versus isolation and identity versus role confusion). Both relate directly to the extent that the individual is socially integrated - tasks health and medical research literature have described as increasingly more difficult for youth to effectively accomplish. Contextual circumstances, such as gender and race, appear to provide necessary supports to succesfully accomplish these psychosocial tasks.
