  • Deployment stress, tobacco use, and postdeployment posttraumatic stress disorder

    Sandra J Japuntich, Kristin Gregor et al.ARTICLEPsychological Trauma Theory…2015

    We found a dose-dependent relationship between deployment stress and adoption and escalation of tobacco use; the stressors that provoked initiation and escalation of tobacco use differed by gender. Continued tobacco use after deployment was associated with PTSD in women suggesting that women used tobacco more selectively than men to regulate negative affect. Implications of this work are that training before combat and during combat on healthy me…
