This study documented the perceived healthcare needs of those who have served overseas since 2001, according to family members and friends.

The purpose of this project was to examine factors associated with suicidal ideation in returning Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. Methods: A cross-sectional review of 1740 veterans' initial mental health screening evaluations.

Mental health screenings of OEF/OIF Veterans were reviewed to examine factors associated with suicidal ideation.

Using a sample of 289 Iraq/Afghanistan veterans, this study examined the contributions of combat exposure, agency, perceived threat, and guilt to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms.

Online survey data from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans was used to assess the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and four constructs: combat exposure, perceived threat during combat, causing harm during combat, and combat-related guilt.

The present study assessed potential gender differences between the two prevailing PTSD models – the emotional numbing (King, Leskin, King, & Weathers, 1998) and dysphoria (Simms, Watson, & Doebbelling, 2002) models – in order to establish whether one model is superior with regard to its

Researchers assessed possible gender differences between two prevailing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) models – the emotional numbing (e.g., re-experiencing, avoidance, emotional numbing and arousal) and dysphoria (e.g., re-experiencing, avoidance, dysphoria and arousal) models – in order t

Military deployment poses many risks for cognitive functioning. When deployed individuals are compared to a nondeployed control group, there is some evidence that deployment may be associated with declines in cognitive functioning.

Active Duty Service members without traumatic brain injuries (TBI) were evaluated before and following deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan to evaluate the possibility of an association between deployment and measurable changes in cognitive functioning.
