According to Healio (9/5, Demko), “the percentage of active-duty female Air Force personnel experiencing PTSD symptoms increased as number of wartime experiences increased,” researchers found after using “participants’ responses to the U.S. Air Force Community Assessment Survey in 2008, 2011, or 2013 to determine the connections between wartime experiences and PTSD symptoms.” Included were sample sizes of “18,012 in 2008, 12,249 in 2011, and 8,061 in 2013.” The findings were published online Aug. 21 in the Journal of Women’s Health.
