Summary: The study found that machine learning methods have potential in early identification of soldiers at high risk of mental health problems following their first deployment. However, the performances were modest and positive predictive values were low, limiting the applicability of the models for pre-deployment screening. Future studies should include neurobiological data and deployment experiences to increase accuracy of the models.

Summary: This study evaluated the frontal behavioural symptoms in military personnel with and without blast-related mild traumatic brain injury (mild TBI) using the FrSBe self-report. The results showed that the blast mild TBI group had greater frontal behavioural symptoms, including clinically elevated apathy, disinhibition, and executive dysfunction, compared to the control group without mild TBI or blast exposure history. The study also found significant increases in disinhibition symptoms over a 4-year span in the blast mild TBI group.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the situation of service members who sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI) in deployed settings between 2001 and 2018. The study found that TBI was prevalent in deployed settings and often associated with hospitalization and multiple injuries. Overtriage of mild TBI was common. There were differences in diagnostic, treatment, and recovery patterns between individuals with severe TBI and those with mild TBI.

Summary: The study found that SITBs emerged between ages 14-28 among veterans, with behaviors emerging earlier on average. Inpatient veterans had a shorter time lag from SI to SA. NSSI history predicted an increase in risk for all suicidal SITBs and shorter survival time.

Summary: The transition from military to civilian life is often stressful for veterans. This study found that mental health symptoms fluctuate in the period leading up to and following separation from the military, with personnel with Honorable discharges showing no change in symptoms and personnel with Other than Honorable/General discharges reporting progressively greater symptoms leading to separation.

Summary: This study investigated the association between subsequent traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and multidimensional outcomes at 1 year and 3 to 7 years. The results showed that postindex TBIs were associated with worse functional recovery, health-related quality of life, and various psychological symptoms. These associations remained significant at the 3 to 7-year follow-up. Individuals who experienced multiple postindex TBIs had poorer outcomes in all domains.

Summary: This study examined the presence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in the brains of military personnel. The results showed that CTE was infrequently found, but it was more prevalent in individuals with exposure to contact sports and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in civilian life. However, the small number of cases and wide confidence intervals limit the ability to draw causal conclusions.

Summary: Psychological symptoms and NSSI are independently associated with suicide attempts in adolescents. However, to some extent, NSSI may reduce the risk of suicide attempts among individuals with psychological symptoms, especially in boys.

Summary: Hospital isolation for COVID-19 can lead to significant psychological stress. Patients with COVID-19 often experience anxiety, depression, insomnia, and suicidal ideation. Early intervention is crucial to improve mental health outcomes.

Summary: This study examines whether US military service members endorse safe firearm storage practices depending on the content of the visual message they are exposed to. The results suggest that the profession of the messenger has a more consistent impact on willingness to endorse safe firearm storage practices compared to the message content, although this impact varies across different storage options. The study concludes that using visual messaging featuring security forces may be effective in promoting safe firearm storage at the population level.

Summary: The study found that repetitive closed head injury (rCHI) did not accelerate tau pathology and did not worsen behavioral outcomes in adolescent mice. However, rCHI induced microgliosis in the cortex and hippocampus and astrocytosis in the corpus callosum of P301S mice by 40 days post-injury. There were no significant microgliosis or astrocytosis observed in age-matched WT mice or sham-injured P301S mice after rCHI.

Summary: This study found that traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with long-term stroke risk, with differences observed in age, sex, race and ethnicity, and time since TBI diagnosis. The highest risk of stroke occurs in the first year after TBI diagnosis, but the risk remains elevated for more than 10 years. Both mild and moderate/severe/penetrating TBI increase the risk of stroke compared to individuals without TBI. Older individuals have a stronger association between TBI and stroke, while Black veterans have a weaker association compared to other races and ethnicities. These findings suggest that veterans with prior TBI should be targeted for primary stroke prevention measures.

Summary: This study examined the racial and ethnic differences in suicide and drug and opioid-related overdose deaths among military service members with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The results showed that military members who self-identified as Other had higher rates of mortality for all three outcomes compared to other racial/ethnic groups. The suicide rates for those classified as Other were up to 5 times higher, and the rates for drug and opioid overdose death were up to 11 and 3.5 times higher, respectively.

Summary: The study implemented a modified group CPT intervention in adolescents who experienced commercial sexual exploitation to test its acceptability and feasibility. Results showed no significant change in suicidal and non-suicidal behaviors after treatment, but high client satisfaction and significant reductions in symptom severity were observed.
