ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The present study seeks to add to the existing literature by determining if having a plan for suicide, is associated with an individual's self-reported likelihood of attempting suicide in the future.METHOD:
Data came from a sample of 97 United States Army personnel with past week ideation or lifetime attempt history. Assessments were collected at baseline, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-months.RESULTS:
Self-reported likelihood of attempting suicide in the future was not associated with the presence of a plan for suicide overall or a plan with a specific method (i.e., firearm, cutting/scratching, and medication).DISCUSSION:
Although a plan for suicide is commonly thought to indicate elevated risk our findings suggest that presence or absence of suicide plans is not associated with more self-reported likelihood of a future suicide attempt.
The self-reported likelihood of attempting suicide in the future was not associated with the presence of a plan for suicide among service members.Findings suggest that presence or absence of suicide plans is not associated with self-reported likelihood of suicidal behavior among service members.Clinicians and researchers working with a military population may benefit from a broader approach to risk assessment and safety planning that does not rely too heavily on an individual's self-reported plans for suicide.
