Great new epidemiological work from a stellar team.
Military-Related TBI, New-Onset MH Conditions, and Suicide Risk - So appreciate this team effort - Findings suggest that exposures (physical, psychological) accumulate over an individual’s lifetime - and increase risk #TBI #SuicidePrevention.

A very important thread describing results from just released @RANDCorporation analysis on how suicide rates among veterans compare to their civilian counterparts.
It's been reported that US veterans have age/sex adjusted suicide rates 60% greater than nonvets. Our @JAMAnetworkopen piece confirms this, but shows that vets' suicide rates are only 10% greater than nonvets of the same age and sex. Can both be true? 🧵.

Now available not behind a paywall!.
Some states and cities are changing their laws and policies on the supply and use of psychedelics. The shift is akin to what began decades ago with medical cannabis, say experts. But this time around, the changes are coming at a much faster pace.
