Healio (3/1, Demko) reports that “due to the substantial, unmet need for mental health services and care in the military, many service members seek care in the civilian sector,” researchers found after examining data on “233 military clients located throughout the U.S., Afghanistan, South Korea and Germany who received care between 2013 and 2016 from a network of volunteer civilian practitioners.” The findings were published online Feb. 27 in the journal Military Medicine.
