Summary
Data from homeless Veterans who visited the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) between October 2009 and September 2010 were analyzed to examine gender and mental health differences between those who had experienced military sexual trauma and those who had not. Homeless Veterans who had experienced military sexual trauma were significantly more likely to have mental health concerns than homeless Veterans who had not experienced military sexual trauma. Females were significantly more likely than males to report having experienced military sexual trauma.
