Plain-English Summary

The Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs would be required to study and report on how military sexual trauma and domestic violence contribute to suicide and suicidal thoughts among active-duty service members and veterans. The agencies would then brief Congress on their findings to help identify ways to better support and protect those affected by these traumatic experiences. This affects military personnel, veterans, and the agencies responsible for their mental health and safety.
