About VA Mental Health

Data Drives VA Forward

VA is committed to advancing health research and providing care that meets the needs of our nation’s Veterans—and data is critical to support personalized treatment efforts as well as suicide and overdose prevention. VA’s analysis of Veteran suicide and overdose data, which is presented to the public annually, helps VA better serve Veterans and their loved ones.

Veteran Suicide Data and Reporting

Using national death certificate data, VA conducts an in-depth analysis of Veteran suicide rates each year. Findings are made available to the public in an annual report.
