ALT Using population-based weighting, this study examined the prevalence of suicidal ideation (SI) and non-fatal suicidal self-directed violence (NF-SSDV) among AANHPI veterans (n = 552), overall and disaggregated between Asian American (AA) and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) veterans, and compared to non-AANHPI veterans (n = 16,116). Among AANHPI veterans, lifetime estimates were 39.38% for SI, 12.42% for interrupted attempts, and 12.09% for suicide attempts. Compared to non-AA veterans, AA veterans had a significantly higher prevalence of suicide attempts during military service. Compared to non-NHPI veterans, NHPI veterans had a lower prevalence of suicide attempts during military service. Results suggest a need for suicide prevention initiatives to prevent suicide attempts during military service in these heterogenous populations.
