Students (Veterans and non-Veterans) attending private and public two and four year colleges in Minnesota completed an online survey in order to describe patterns of students' health-related behaviors.
Objective.— Characterize migraine and other headache disorders within a large population-based US military cohort, with an emphasis on the temporal association between military deployment and exposure to combat.
Service members from all branches of the military completed paper-and-pencil surveys as part of the Millennium Cohort Study. Researchers were interested in exploring the association between deployment and combat exposure with migraine and headache disorders.
Background: This study examined gender differences in the impact of warfare exposure on self-reported physical health. Methods: Data are from the 2010 National Survey of Veterans, a nationally representative survey of veterans from multiple eras of service.
Veterans completed questionnaires to examine gender differences relationships among warfare exposure (combat deployment and exposure to casualties), health status, and functional impairment.
Background: Despite increasing numbers of women veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, few studies have examined hazardous drinking in this group.
Survey data from a community sample of OEF/OIF/OND Veterans were used to assess the prevalence of hazardous drinking among this population. Gender differences in the risk and protective factors for hazardous drinking were also examined.
Though the broader literature suggests that women may be more vulnerable to the effects of trauma exposure, most available studies on combat trauma have relied on samples in which women's combat exposure is limited and analyses that do not directly address gender differences in associations
Researchers evaluated gender differences in a variety of combat-related stress dimensions and associated consequences for postdeployment mental health in a representative sample of female and male U.S. Veterans who had returned from deployment to Afghanistan or Iraq within the previous year.
Nearly 40,000 service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have suffered traumatic injuries, with over 300 000 at risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other psychiatric problems.
