Studies in the general population have found that
trauma appears to have reverberating effects
that may result in suicidal behaviors, including
death by suicide, decades following the exposure.
Trauma during childhood has a cascading effect
later in life, confirmed by the expanding body
of literature that demonstrates an elevated risk
for suicide for both genders. A modest but
compelling body of research has examined
the relationship between suicide and traumatic
experiences related to military service, including
captivity and peacekeeping. Caution must be
taken in extrapolating these studies to the general
population, since the definition and measurement
of trauma in them frequently differ from those
covering studies of trauma in civilians. However,
studies in military populations are important to
include for review, since early studies found that
in war amputees the suicide rate was 37% higher
than for the general population (Bakalim, 1969). A
similar magnitude of risk has also been reported
in studies of former World War II prisoners of war
(Keehn, 1980). Certain populations may bear
excess risk for attempted suicide and suicide
following exposure to trauma. High-risk subgroups
