Abstract:
The National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) was recently allocated funds by Congress to be used for research to advance the prevention and treatment of PTSD. The original language of the legislation states the following: “The committee recognizes the importance of the VA National Center for PTSD in promoting better prevention, diagnoses, and treatment of PTSD.” In response to this, we have developed a study that aims to understand how and the degree to which war zone deployment is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, with particular attention to potential differences among white, black, and Hispanic Veterans, as well as male and female Veterans. To this end, we will consider multiple aspects of military service, deployment experiences, and current stressors of Vietnam-era Veterans in relation to current physical and mental health outcomes. This information will directly inform intervention efforts aimed at prevention or treatment of chronic disorders such as PTSD, depression, and substance/alcohol use disorders, as well as co-morbid physical health conditions, particularly in under served portions of our Veteran population. This type of information can inform system-wide interventions that can maximize Veterans’ likelihood of receiving timely and evidence-based healthcare, thereby preventing long-term health problems.
