Abstract: The DoD Suicide Event Report (DoDSER) standardizes suicide surveillance efforts across the services (Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy) to support the DoD's suicide prevention mission. Information collected is intended to inform programs and research designed to prevent suicide and suicide behaviors among military personnel. Respondents may include but are not limited to individuals familiar with event details to include colleagues, supervisors, medical and behavioral health providers, family members, and friends. This revision of the DoDSER form is designed to improve overall data collection quality.
