Summary
Twenty male Veterans who received care from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and reported a military sexual trauma (but had not received VHA care for it) participated in semi-structured interviews to identify potential barriers to accessing military-sexual trauma care. Veterans reported a number of barriers, including lack of knowledge about available services and worries about stigma.
