Type
Summary

Canadian military Veterans (n=1,244) recruited from a Canadian Veterans Affairs hospital completed a mail survey regarding PTSD, depression, and concerns about children. Approximately one-third of participants with PTSD cited concerns about their children’s emotional well-being, and almost half were worried about their children’s behavior.
