Summary
Veterans from OEF/OIF/OND participated in a clinical trial of expressive writing; Veterans Affairs (VA) users were compared to nonusers in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics. About half of the participants reported reintegration difficulties almost six years after returning from deployment. Military service variables and probable traumatic brain injury predicted use of VA healthcare services.
