Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in male veterans has been linked with impaired family relationships and psychopathology in their children. Less is known about symptoms in children of veterans with partial PTSD.
A random sample of 10,250 Active Duty U.S. Military personnel who were single and sexually active were used to identify risk factors for self-reported sexually transmitted infection (STI) within the past 12 months.
Few prospective data exist on the risk of diabetes in individuals serving in the U.S. military. The objectives of this study were to determine whether military deployment, combat exposures, and mental health conditions were related to the risk of newly reported diabetes over 3 years.
Data from 44,754 Millennium Cohort Study participants were used to determine whether military deployment, combat exposures, and mental health conditions were related to the risk of newly reported diabetes over the three-year follow-up period.
The purpose of this study was to identify factors that are predictive of, or associated with, postconcussion symptom reporting after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the U.S. military. Participants were 125?U.S.
One hundred twenty-five U.S. Military Service members who sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) underwent neurocognitive testing and completed brief psychological measures to identify factors associated with post concussion symptom reporting.
Objective: From 2001 to 2006, the Army deployed over 717,000 personnel to Iraq and Afghanistan, with over 15,000 troops wounded. Little is known about the impact of military and demographic factors, particularly deployment, occupation, and pre-existing medical status, on disability retirement.
Risk factors for disability retirement were assessed using 2,453 disability cases compared to controls. Potential risk factors included sex, deployment status, military occupation, disqualification at accession, body mass index, age, education and race/ethnicity.
Objective: Studies have shown a relationship between combat experiences and alcohol misuse in military personnel; it is not known if there are specific combat experiences that confer a greater risk.
One thousand one hundred twenty Soldiers who recently returned from Iraq completed surveys three to four month after homecoming to examine the association between specific types of combat experiences and alcohol misuse.
