Description: In this cohort study of 860, 892 soldiers, individuals with a history of military-identified TBI had significantly higher rates of new-onset mental health conditions than those without a history of TBI. Increased risk for suicide was associated indirectly, through new-onset mental health diagnoses, and directly with history of TBI. Results from this study suggest the importance of conceptualizing physical and/or psychological exposures as events that accumulate over an individual’s lifetime and increase risk for negative outcomes, such as suicide. Doing so may assist in identifying mechanisms underlying frequently co-occurring conditions, as well as evidence-based interventions.
