Many service members face adverse
social determinants of health (SDOH), such as financial, housing,
and food insecurity, isolation or distance from others, and social
stressors such as racism and discrimination. Exposure to adverse
SDOH may place service members at higher risk for behavioral health
symptoms and/or suicidality. This study will develop and administer
a cross-cutting, comprehensive assessment of upstream risk factors
(i.e., SDOH) for behavioral health issues and suicide among Sailors
and Marines to determine the relationship between social risk
factors and future behavioral health issues in this population. We
will also develop procedures for linking Sailors and Marines to
appropriate services and programs based on their reported social
and behavioral health needs.
