Breaking the silence on gendered harassment and assault of community health workers
INTRODUCTION: Across a variety of settings, women in tenuous financial circumstances are drawn to community health work as a way to advance themselves in the context of limited employment options. Female Community Health Workers (CHWs) are often preferred because they can more easily access mothers and children; at the same time, gender norms are at the heart of many of the challenges and inequities that these workers encounter. Here, we explore …
Emergence of probable PTSD among U.S. veterans over the military-to-civilian transition
This study illustrates the need for ongoing social support for veterans coping with symptoms of PTSD, life stressors, and postmilitary trauma, suggesting a countervailing influence of psychological resilience and contemporaneous (but not historical) social support on symptom exacerbation.

The transition to civilian life
Although these findings underscore the impact of PTSD on functioning and SI, they also highlight the complexity of multimorbidity and the importance of bolstering social functioning for veterans. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Adopting a Companion Dog Helps Veterans with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in a Pilot Randomized Trial
Despite significant treatment advances, many military veterans continue to suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ) and associated symptoms, suggesting a need for new interventions. This pilot trial examined the change in psychological symptoms of 19 veterans in treatment for PTSD who were randomized either to adopt a dog immediately from a Humane Society shelter ( n = 9) or to a three-month waitlist followed by dog adoption ( n = 10). …
Changes in the health and broader well-being of U.S. veterans in the first three years after leaving military service
The interaction of exposure to adverse childhood and combat experiences on the current mental health of new post‐9/11 veterans
Military veterans have greater exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) than civilians and many also encounter warfare exposures, which can increase the likelihood of mental health problems. The purpose of this study was to test an interaction between childhood traumas and warfare exposures on the mental health of a sample of nearly 10,000 new post‐9/11 veterans. Results revealed that male veterans exposed to one or two ACEs, but no warfa…
The impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and combat exposure on mental health conditions among new post-9/11 veterans
This study confirms prior studies demonstrating a relationship between ACEs and combat on subsequent mental health problems. Importantly, 2 different types of combat exposure had differential effects on mental health problems. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
A Method for Developing Trustworthiness and Preserving Richness of Qualitative Data During Team-Based Analysis of Large Data Sets
This article outlines a three-phase, team-based approach used to analyze qualitative data from a nation-wide needs assessment of access to Veteran Health Administration services for rural-dwelling veterans. The method described here was used to develop the trustworthiness of findings from analysis of a large qualitative data set, without the use of analytic software. In Phase 1, we used templates to summarize content from 205 individual semistruc…
Veterans’ Use of Programs and Services as They Transition to Civilian Life
A substantial minority of veterans struggle as they reintegrate into civilian life, reporting problems with vocational attainment, legal/financial/housing challenges, physical and mental health conditions, and social/interpersonal issues. While there are thousands of programs and services offered to veterans, little is known about which ones they use. In the current exploratory study, veterans separated from active duty in the prior three-months …

Treatment selection among posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) specialty care providers in the Veterans Health Administration
Provider decision making has been understudied in implementation science. Although prior research has emphasized the role of organizational context in EBP reach, our findings suggest that other factors are salient when decisions are made at the level of the individual patient. Results suggest that increased attention to treatment selection and focused training in use of decision aids and shared decision making may have utility in increasing uptak…
Treatments Veterans Health Administration PTSD specialty program providers report their patients prefer
Results suggest that theoretical orientation and VHA EBP training meaningfully impact how providers perceive patient preference for EBP. Efforts to increase EBP engagement among veteran patients may benefit from enhancing both therapist and patient education, as well as shared decision-making skills among non-CBT-oriented providers.

Going It Alone
Transitioning from military to civilian life is challenging for a substantial number of veterans. Successful transitions require veterans to function well in various well-being domains including employment, education, financial, health, and social relationships. There are many programs and services designed to assist veterans transition to civilian life. However, veterans rarely avail themselves of supportive resources. This study examined vetera…
Community Clinicians and the Veterans Choice Program for PTSD Care
BACKGROUND: In 2014, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) implemented the Veterans Choice Program (VCP) to provide reimbursement for community-based care to eligible veterans. Inadequate networks of participating providers may impact the utility of VCP for veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a complex condition occurring at lower frequency among civilians. OBJECTIVES: To compare characteristics and attitudes of community-based …
Comorbidity Correlates of Death Among New Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan Deployment
BACKGROUND: Veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who receive care in the Veterans Health Administration (VA) have high disease burden. Distinct comorbidity patterns have been shown to be differentially associated with adverse outcomes, including death. This study determined correlates of 5-year mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: VA demographic, military, homelessness, and clinical measures informed this retrospective analysis. Previously c…

Burnout and coping
Mental health providers employed specifically by the Veterans Health Administration to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be at increased risk for burnout due to both organizational and patient care stressors. Usage of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco products may increase as a means to cope with burnout and stress. This cross-sectional study measured concurrent changes in burnout levels and caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco use as a means…
Complex Comorbidity Clusters in OEF/OIF Veterans
BACKGROUND: A growing body of research on US Veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq [Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn (OEF/OIF)] has described the polytrauma clinical triad (PCT): traumatic brain injury (TBI), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and pain. Extant research has not explored comorbidity clusters in this population more broadly, particularly co-occurring chronic diseases. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was…
Empowering Veterans With PTSD in the Recovery Era
As highly effective treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) become increasingly available, how will the VA (Department of Veterans Affairs) and other public institutions navigate complex questions around appropriate services for Veterans with PTSD? This and related questions will be examined in this article in light of epidemiological, clinical, and ethnographic data on combat PTSD in the 21st century
Validating a measure of self-efficacy for life tasks in male OEF/OIF veterans
This paper describes the development and preliminary validation of a scale to assess perceived self-efficacy to complete culturally and age-appropriate life tasks (SelfEfficacy for Life Tasks, or SELT) among male veterans of Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom; OEF) and Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom; OIF). The SELT scale was developed for this population in a multistage process that included: 1) semistructured interviews inquiring about expec…

Heroine
Heroine is a series of images relating a dark love story. It is a rock opera in 2-D, featuring New York City anti-heroes Lou Reed and Nadia Nefariously. The introductory image is a trinity of punk children, soothsayers in a Greek-theatre-style chorus cautioning the lovers of what is to come. The tale’s protagonists both belong to the 1970s underground punk scene, that gladiatorial arena in which affliction and volatility reign. This is translated…

Disclosing intimate partner violence to health care clinicians - What a difference the setting makes
While no harms resulted from IPV disclosure, survivor satisfaction with disclosure is shaped by the setting of the encounter. Clinicians should aim to build a therapeutic relationship with IPV survivors that empowers and educates patients and does not demand disclosure
