Substance Use in U.S. Vietnam War Era Veterans and Nonveterans
Background: Substance use (SU) is associated with physical injury and mental health disorders in older persons, but recent research has scarcely examined SU in U.S. Vietnam-era veterans who are mostly in or near their eighth decade of life. Objectives: We compared the prevalence of self-reported lifetime and current SU and modeled current usage patterns in a nationally representative sample of veterans versus a matched nonveteran cohort. Methods:…
Best Practices in Recruitment and Outreach to Women and Diverse Veterans for Coronavirus Research at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
In September 2020, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) launched a novel volunteer research registry to rapidly recruit eligible study participants for research on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 vaccines and treatments at VA Medical Centers selected as study sites for COVID-19 clinical trials. Targeted multimedia outreach campaigns were used to recruit diverse populations, including those historically under-represented in medical research. By Novembe…
Potentially traumatic events and health among lesbian, gay, bisexual and heterosexual Vietnam veterans
Objectives: To examine differences in potentially traumatic events (PTEs), probable PTSD, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) and heterosexual Vietnam Era veterans. Method: Data are from the 2016-2017 Vietnam Era Health Retrospective Observational study survey ( n = 18,866; 45% response rate). PTEs were defined using the 10-item Brief Trauma Questionnaire and a dichotomous item about whether respond…
Qualitative Interviewing
The Vietnam Era Health Retrospective Observational Study (VE-HEROeS) is a nationwide study designed to compare the health of U.S. Vietnam era veterans to age- and sex-matched U.S. residents. Two self-administered mail questionnaires, one for veterans and the other for the U.S. nonmilitary population, were developed using already validated and newly developed items. A pretest was conducted to evaluate item recall and comprehension, new-item respon…
Spirometric Pulmonary Restriction in Herbicide-Exposed U.S. Vietnam War Veterans
Spirometric restriction in herbicide-exposed U.S. Army Chemical Corps Vietnam War veterans was examined because no published research on this topic in Vietnam War veterans exists. Spirometry was conducted on 468 veterans who served in chemical operations in a 2013 study assessing the association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and herbicide exposure. Exposure was verified based on blood serum values of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibe…
