Summary

This study documented the perceived healthcare needs of those who have served overseas since 2001, according to family members and friends. Results showed that a substantial number of Veterans and their families are obtaining healthcare outside of the Veterans Affairs (VA) system, and there is a high level of healthcare needs that are directly related to military service.
