“This Is What I Acquired in the Military, I Want to Keep It at the VA”
PURPOSE: American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) women use VA healthcare and reside in rural areas at higher proportions than other women Veterans. To support an investigation of ways to improve healthcare access and outcomes among rural AI/AN women Veterans, we conducted listening sessions on healthcare experiences, needs, and preferences. METHODS: We conducted in-person, group interview-style listening sessions using a qualitative descriptive…
Rural health care workforce retention measures
PURPOSE: Rural Veterans face persistent barriers to care, often exacerbated by health care workforce shortages. Although recruitment initiatives are important, retaining providers in rural areas is equally critical to sustaining access and continuity of care. This rapid scoping review examined how "rural workforce retention" is defined and measured in the peer-reviewed literature and synthesized recommended reporting elements to improve clarity a…
Home health utilization in the Veterans Health Administration
PURPOSE: Growing numbers of older adults need home health care, yhese services may be more difficult to access for rural Veterans, who represent one-third of Veterans Health Administration (VA) enrollees. Our objective was to examine whether home health use differs within VA based on rurality. METHODS: We examined national VA administrative data for 2019-2021 (January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021) among Veterans ages ≥65 years. Using descriptive …
Changing rural‐urban and racial patterns in VA tele‐mental health use among women Veterans, 2019–2022
PURPOSE: To assess whether women veterans accessed synchronous video telehealth for mental health (SVT-MH) similarly by (1) rurality, (2) race, and (3) race within rural and urban settings. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used VA administrative data to examine temporal trends in outpatient VA mental health use from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2022-a period spanning the pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic. The cohort included VA-enr…
The impact of patient–provider relationships on choosing between VA and VA‐purchased care
PURPOSE: Since the Choice Act in 2014, many Veterans have had greater options for seeking Veteran Affairs (VA)-purchased care in the community. We investigated factors that influence rural Veterans' decisions regarding where to seek care. METHODS: We utilized semi-structured telephone interviews to query Veterans living in rural or highly rural areas of Midwestern states about their health care options, preferences, and experiences. Interviews we…

Partnership Forum
In response to concerns about Veterans’ access to Veterans Affairs (VA) health care services, Congress passed the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 (Choice), which broadened Veterans’ eligibility to receive health care delivered by non-VA community providers paid for by VA (ie, Community Care).1 Specifically, the Veterans Choice Program (VCP) allowed Veterans waiting longer than 30 days for specific services in VA, who lived …

Lifetime History of Sexual Assault and Emergency Department Service Use among Women Veterans
The Relationship Between US Military Officer Leadership Behaviors and Risk of Sexual Assault of Reserve, National Guard, and Active Component Servicewomen in Nondeployed Locations
Objectives. To determine if military leader behaviors are associated with active component and Reserve–National Guard servicewomen’s risk of sexual assault in the military (SAIM) for nondeployed locations. Methods. A community sample of 1337 Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom–era Army and Air Force servicewomen completed telephone interviews (March 2010–December 2011) querying sociodemographic and military characteristics, sex…
The Veterans Choice Act
BACKGROUND: Congress enacted the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 [Veterans Choice Act (VCA)] to improve access to timely, high-quality health care for Veterans.

Health and Health Care Access of Rural Women Veterans
PURPOSE: Disparities in health and health care access between rural and urban Americans are well documented. There is evidence that these disparities are mirrored within the US veteran population. However, there are few studies assessing this issue among women veterans (WVs). METHODS: Using the 2008-2009 National Survey of Women Veterans, a population-based cross-sectional national telephone survey, we examined rural WVs' health and health care a…
Veteran Use of Health Care Systems in Rural States
OBJECTIVE: To quantify use of VA and non-VA care among working-age veterans with private insurance by linking VA data to private health insurance plan (PHIP) data. METHODS: Demographics and utilization were compared between dual users of VA and non-VA systems versus single-system users for veterans < 65 living in 2 rural Midwestern states concurrently enrolled in VA health care and a PHIP for ≥ 1 complete federal fiscal year from 2000 to 2010. Ch…
Post–Sexual Assault Health Care Utilization Among OEF/OIF Servicewomen
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Few who experience sexual assault seek health care immediately. Yet many become heavy users of health care resources in the years postassault because sexual violence has been linked with both acute and chronic health consequences. Our objective was to investigate servicewomen's medical and mental health (MH) care utilization after sexual assault in-military (SAIM) and identify reasons for not seeking care. METHODS: In a…
Prevalence and Correlates of Cigarette Smoking Among Operation Iraqi Freedom-era and Operation Enduring Freedom-era Women From the Active Component Military and Reserve/National Guard
BACKGROUND: Tobacco use adversely affects the health and readiness of military personnel. Although rates of cigarette smoking have historically been elevated among men serving in the military, less is known about tobacco use in servicewomen. OBJECTIVES: To examine the prevalence and correlates of tobacco use among women serving in the Active Component (AC) and Reserve/National Guard (RNG) as well as factors associated with starting to smoke durin…
Evaluation of a Home‐Based Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention in a Rural State
PURPOSE: Distance from health care facilities can be a barrier to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, especially for colonoscopy. Alternatively, an improved at-home stool-based screening tool, the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), requires only a single sample and has a better sensitivity-specificity balance compared to traditional guaiac fecal occult blood tests. Our objective was to determine if FITs mailed to asymptomatic, average-risk patients …
Servicewomen’s Strategies to Staying Safe During Military Service
Correlates of Sexual Functioning in Women Veterans
Military women are a unique population with occupational risks that may influence their sexual health, yet relatively little is known about specific correlates associated with servicewomen's sexual functioning. One thousand and four Midwestern U.S. women veterans aged 52 years of age and younger completed a telephone interview assessing sexual assault history, mental health, gynecologic health, and health-related quality of life. Half experienced…
Physical Health Status of Female Veterans
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether current physical health status in female veterans is associated with rape during military service and same-sex partnership. METHODS: Retrospective computer-assisted telephone interviews of 1004 Midwestern US female veterans identified from Veterans Affairs electronic records were conducted. Data included rape history including rape in military, sex partnership history, demographics, and me…
