N2 - OBJECTIVE: Explore the mental health differences of student veterans by sexual orientation. Participants: Student service members/veterans (n = 702) from the fall 2011 National College Health Assessment.
METHOD: Descriptive statistics and two-sample proportion and mean tests were used to compare mental health characteristics.
RESULTS: Student veterans who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or unsure had higher levels of mental health symptoms and treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest a need for continued examination of student service members/ veterans related to disparities in mental health by sexual orientation.
