## Description

Defence Statistics, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to place a contract with The University of Manchester \(the University\) to update the research undertaken between MOD and Manchester University in 2009, to include a further 12 years of data on Service leavers\. The study is to understand the rate, timing and risk factors for suicide for those who have left the UK Armed Forces between 1996-2017\. The study will include analysis of data in the Confidential Inquiry into Suicides and Mental health as well as a review of coroner's records and inquest hearings for the veteran suicides identified to provide more detail of the antecedents of suicide \(particularly early and recent vulnerabilities, in-service exposures, difficulties after discharge, living circumstances, and contact with a variety of health and third sector providers\)\.
