  • Military service experiences and reasons for service separation among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals in a large military cohort

    Open AccessFelicia R Carey, Isabel G Jacobson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Less positive military- and separation-specific experiences disproportionately affected LGB service members in this study. Promoting inclusion and increasing support for LGB service members may improve satisfaction with military service and retention

  • Sexual Health Problems among Service Men

    Open AccessClaire A Kolaja, Kimberly A Roenfeldt et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2021References: 1

    Military operational stressors, such as combat exposure, may increase the risk of sexual health problems. This study examined factors associated with sexual health problems, and tested the mediating effect of probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the association between stressors (i.e., combat deployment and sexual assault) and sexual health problems among U.S. service men. Using multivariable logistic regression ( n = 16,603) and Cox …

  • Magnitude of problematic anger and its predictors in the Millennium Cohort

    Open AccessAmy B Adler, Cynthia A LeardMann et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Not only did 1 in 6 respondents report problematic anger, but risk factors were significant even after adjusting for PTSD and MDD, suggesting that problematic anger is more than an expression of these mental health problems. Results identify potential targets of early intervention and clinical treatment for addressing problematic anger in the military and veteran context

  • Risk Factors Associated with Miscarriage and Impaired Fecundity among United States Servicewomen during the Recent Conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan

    Open AccessAndrea C Ippolito, Amber D Seelig et al.ARTICLEWomen s Health Issues2017

    Overall, these results suggest that military deployments do not increase risk for miscarriage and impaired fecundity among U.S. servicewomen. However, because the point estimates for many of the exposures were elevated, more research is needed to better understand the potential risks associated with environmental exposures and specific types of combat exposures

  • Combat Deployment Is Associated with Sexual Harassment or Sexual Assault in a Large, Female Military Cohort

    Open AccessCynthia A LeardMann, Amanda Pietrucha et al.ARTICLEWomen s Health Issues2013

  • Health impact of US military service in a large population-based military cohort

    Open Accessthe Millennium Cohort Study Team, Tyler C Smith et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    The Millennium Cohort Study is providing prospective data that will guide public health policymakers for years to come by exploring associations between military exposures and important health outcomes. Strategic studies aim to identify, reduce, and prevent adverse health outcomes that may be associated with military service, including those related to deployment

  • Do adverse childhood experiences increase the risk of postdeployment posttraumatic stress disorder in US Marines

    Open AccessCynthia A LeardMann, Besa Smith et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    Findings suggest that Marines who experience multiple types of adverse childhood experiences may be at increased risk for postdeployment PTSD. It is possible, however, that these results indicate that men willing to report childhood adverse experiences are also more willing to seek care for PTSD

  • A Prospective Study of Depression Following Combat Deployment in Support of the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

    Timothy S Wells, Cynthia A LeardMann et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2010Cited by: 8References: 76

    Objective. We investigated relations between deployment and new-onset depression among US service members recently deployed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Methods. We included 40 219 Millennium Cohort Study participants who completed baseline and follow-up questionnaires and met inclusion criteria. Participants were identified with depression if they met the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders Patient Health Questionnaire criteria f…

  • The physical and mental health of a large military cohort

    Open Accessthe Millennium Cohort Study Team, Tyler C Smith et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2007

    The baseline health status of this large population-based military cohort is better than that of the US general population of the same age and sex distribution over the same time period, especially in older age groups. Deployment experiences during the period of 1998-2001 were not associated with decreased health status. These data will serve as a useful reference for other military health studies and for future longitudinal analyses
