Healio (3/3, VanDewater) reported, “Distress levels among veterans were greater at 1 year into the COVID-19 pandemic, but decreased at 2 years to pre-pandemic levels, according to data” from a “longitudinal study among 2,289 veterans as part of the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study from fall 2019 to summer 2022.” The findings, published online Feb. 23 in a research letter in JAMA Network Open, showed that specifically, veterans “aged 18 to 44 years…and women…had the greatest increase in distress from fall 2019 to fall/winter of 2020.”
