Summary
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans attending 15 post-secondary institutions in Minnesota completed an online anonymous survey which examined relationships between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and health risk behaviors. PTSD diagnosis was significantly related to reporting involvement in a physical fight in the past year, and somewhat associated with high-risk drinking.
