Research Questions
- 1. Kristin Sundvall Ms. Lester H 10 W Lit/Comp 12 April 2010 Research Questions 1. What causes some veterans to commit suicide? I always just assumed it was the stress of war or the guilt of having to kill another human being, but I would like to know if there is something more to it. 2. What is being done to prevent this from happening? I want to know if there is any sort of special training or therapy that soldiers go through to prepare them for the effects of war and keep their minds clear of suicidal thoughts. 3. What are the statistics? How many veterans commit suicide, which war had the most recorded veterans' suicides, what age group is at a greater risk for suicide, what gender group is at a greater risk for suicide, etc. 4. What can soldiers do personally to prevent suicide? If a soldier is already in a depression because of war, what can he/she do to stop him/herself from acting on the feelings that come with depression? Is there a special kind of therapy offered to soldiers who feel on the edge of suicide?
