A sample of 298 Vietnam and 283 Iraq and Afghanistan Service members/Veterans who sustained major traumatic limb loss during combat completed a self-report survey about their injuries, mental and physical health, quality of life, and their use and satisfaction with a prosthetic device.
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.
Cross sectional studies have addressed the incarceration of Vietnam veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but no studies have examined changes in incarceration as they age.
Administrative records of intake assessments of 31,707 Veterans seen in Veteran's Affair's (VA) postraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) programs were examined to discern patterns of incarceration over time (from 1993-2011). Rates of incarceration declined over time.
Background: Symptom-level variation in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has not yet been examined in the early post-deployment phase, but may be meaningful etiologically, prognostically, and clinically.
