Suicide Event Report, 0720-TBD.
    Needs and Uses: This data system will provide integrated enterprise 
and survey data to be used for direct reporting of suicide events and 
ongoing population-based health surveillance activities. These 
surveillance activities include the systematic collection, analysis, 
interpretation, and reporting of outcome-specific data for use in 
planning, implementation, evaluation, and prevention of suicide 
behaviors within the Department of Defense. Data is collected on 
individuals with reportable suicide and self-harm behaviors (to include 
suicide attempts, self harm behaviors, and suicidal ideation). All 
other DoD active and reserve military personnel records collected 
without evidence of reportable suicide and self-harm behaviors will 
exist as a control group. Records are integrated from enterprise 
systems and created and revised by civilian and military personnel in 
the performance of their duties.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 330.
    Number of Respondents: 1975.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
    Frequency: As required by a qualifying event.
    Form completers are behavioral and medical health providers, 
military unit leadership or their designees. The DoDSER form is used to 
collect information regarding suicide events of military service 
members. Form completers collect information from military personnel 
records, military medical records, enterprise data systems within the 
DoD and persons (respondent) familiar with the event details. 
Respondents include but are not limited to family members, friends, 
unit members, unit leadership and clergy members. The DoDSER form data 
is used to produce ad hoc reports for services leadership and the 
DoDSER Annual Report. The annual report is a comprehensive on the data 
collected which provides information for the DoD suicide prevention 
effort.
