Thorough, detailed background data on military suicides


By SB Anderson

We’ve assembled in our DocumentCloud the past four annual reports on military suicides from the Department of Defense that are chock full of data and details. The voluminous reports, known as “DodSERs” — Department of Defense Suicide Events Reports — started in 2008 to standardize reporting across military branches. 

The reports, along with supplemental updates, are also available from the National Center for Telehealth and Technology.

Cover of the 2011 report is below.
