Financial Well-Being and Post-Deployment Adjustment Among Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans

Service members can have difficulties in many different areas of functioning post-deployment, including emotional, interpersonal, and financial, among others. This study examined the relationship between financial well-being and post-deployment adjustment among OEF/OIF Veterans, with particular attention to Veterans with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Results suggest that Veterans with greater financial difficulties significantly have more post-deployment adjustment problems.
