Summary
Three hundred sixty-five female OEF/OIF Veterans receiving care at two Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers were surveyed to examine the prevalence of mental health and gender specific conditions, VA healthcare satisfaction, and trauma exposure. Lesbian and bisexual Veterans were significantly more likely to have experienced both military sexual and childhood sexual trauma compared to heterosexual Veterans.
