Summary
Social support variables and traumatic experiences were examined as predictors of pain outcomes in a group of EF/OIF/OND Veterans experiencing chronic pain, with particular attention to whether these relationships differed between men and women. Marital status, combat exposure, and family conflict were found to predict pain outcomes differently in women and men.
