College student Veterans were surveyed to examine the associations between social support, unit support, mental health, and academic adjustment. There were significant findings that suggested aspects of mental health were related to academic adjustment.
Large cohort studies suggest that most military personnel experience minimal posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms following warzone deployment, an outcome often labeled resilience.
Male Marines participated in a study examining the longitudinal course of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms after combat exposure. Marines were split into three groups based on level of combat exposure (low, medium, and high).
We exploit plausibly exogenous variation in overseas deployment assignment to estimate the effect of combat exposure on psychological well-being.
Differences in the likelihood of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and suicidal ideation were compared in three different groups: Service members on Active Duty exclusively in the United States, Service members on Active Duty outside the United States in noncombat zones, and Servi
Introduction: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is prevalent among military veterans and is associated with a number of negative outcomes. Despite available treatments, rates of recovery are poor and many symptoms persist post-treatment.
Veterans in a residential posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment program were evaluated to examine the relationship between physical activity and PTSD symptoms.
Impaired functioning in the aftermath of a combat deployment is well-established. What is less clear, however, is the role of impaired functioning prior to deployment in predicting mental health adjustment following a return home.
Service members preparing for or returning from deployment to Iraq completed written surveys to assess the role of pre-deployment impaired functioning in predicting mental health post-deployment.
