Study Participation

Study Participation
Participation in ASCEND is by invitation only in order to ensure that we receive input from Veterans all across the U.S., and especially from Veterans who have not been well-represented previously (such as rural Veterans, female Veterans, etc.). If you are invited to participate, we sincerely hope that you will consider doing so.
We value your trust and prioritize security and privacy of all information and data you share with us. We need your voice—working together, we can prevent Veteran suicide!
Wave 2 data collection for ASCEND closed in January 2025. We are currently planning for future waves of data collection. Please check the Milestones and Results tabs for additional information regarding study plans and findings.
