HealthDay (12/29, Mundell) reported, “Suicide rates for Vietnam veterans over the past four decades were no higher than that of the general population.” Nonetheless, “between 1979 and 2019 – the period covered by the new study – almost 100,000 Vietnam War vets did lose their lives to suicide, the researchers noted.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
