Summary
Iraq and Afghanistan student Veterans participated in a study examining the contributions of coping style and family social support on mental health symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress). Higher levels of support from family related to lower levels of depression and anxiety. Veterans who used more avoidant coping techniques (avoiding or denying problems) had higher levels of PTSD symptoms.
