PROBLEM STATEMENT 2 Problem Statement According to Morran, Schell, and Smart, the rate of veteran suicide was at least 1.5 times greater than that of non-veteran counterparts in the United States, “after adjusting for age and sex differences” (Morral et al., (2023). Previous explorations of this anomaly have suggested that veterans were more prone to suicidal ideation and intent due to “Psychological sacrifices” (McCullers, 2023) by waiver of constitutional rights, extreme physical stress, and the direct and sudden loss of personal citizenship. Additionally, studies were conducted examining the adaptations required to support military personnel through the social stress of the COVID-19 pandemic (Levine & Sher, 2021). The findings suggested that measures were required to address veteran suicidality during social crises, and precipitating risk factors were not limited to stressors associated with overseas deployment (Levine & Sher, 2021). A comparison of suicide rates for military veterans versus first responders, Law enforcement, and civilians demonstrated that among populations with above-average exposure to trauma, the rate of suicidality was not as high as among military veterans (Sonza, 2018). The study suggested the increased risk had less connection to combat than previously understood (Sonza, 2018). A critical deficiency regarding current research is that most studies conducted have been focused on governmental adaptations, rather than the veteran’s community. Studies demonstrated that trust between interventionists and veterans was paramount to reducing veteran suicide (Ganzini et al., 2013), yet most studies were focused solely on clinical relationships, rather than social bonds wherein veterans had already established trust (Ganzini et al., 2013).
