This research examines how alcohol affects the severity and outcomes of suicide attempts among military service members and veterans. By analyzing documented attempts and personal narratives, the study reveals that alcohol often increases impulsivity and lethality, while occasionally interrupting attempts unintentionally, highlighting the need for alcohol-aware suicide prevention strategies.

This study evaluated QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) suicide prevention training among 2,000 professionals. Results showed significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and intervention skills, though effects varied by profession. Findings suggest QPR is effective but may require tailored approaches to maximize impact across different occupational groups.

This research examines how sugar consumption and impaired reward sensitivity predict later alcohol-related behaviors in rats. Findings show that addiction-like responses to sugar can forecast alcohol responses, suggesting shared neural mechanisms. Understanding these early behavioral markers may help identify addiction risk factors and inform prevention strategies.
