Healio (3/3, Herpen) reports, “The prevalence of PTSD in U.S. military veterans is higher than previous estimates,” researchers concluded after examining “information on a nationally representative sample of 4,069 veterans culled from the 2019–20 National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study, an online survey conducted from November 2019 to March 2020.” The study revealed that “prevalence of lifetime PTSD among the survey population (9.4%) was slightly higher than 2016 estimates (6.9% to 8.1%).” The findings of the “cross-sectional, retrospective study” were published online Feb. 22 in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.
