We studied the prevalence and characteristics of selfreported driving difficulties and examined their association with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Operation Iraqi reedom/Operation Enduring Freedom(OIF/OEF) veterans who were seen at a Department of V
A sample of 205 OIF/OEF Veterans who had been seen in a Veterans Affairs (VA) polytrauma clinic for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) participated in a study to document the prevalence and types of driving difficulties.
Although the prevalence of mental health disorders in troops serving in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) is high, many OEF/OIF veterans appear to refuse or delay mental health treatment.
Medical records of 429 Veterans were examined to determine predictors of initial engagement and treatment retention in mental health services at a southwestern VA medical center.
Objective : To determine if post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with health risk behaviors among Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans attending college.
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.
Research suggests that there may be unique barriers to accessing care among men who have experienced sexual trauma. The primary goal of the current research was to elucidate potential barriers to accessing military sexual trauma (MST)-related care for male veterans.
Twenty male Veterans who received care from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and reported a military sexual trauma (but had not received VHA care for it) participated in semi-structured interviews to identify potential barriers to accessing military-sexual trauma care.
We examined military-related sexual trauma among deployed Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans.
Veterans Affairs (VA) administrative data for 164,603 (87% male) Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) Veterans were used to examine the relationship between a positive military sexual trauma screen, demographic and military variables, and mental health diagnoses.
