TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - PTSD, depression, daily stressors, and treatment pathways among urban veterans JO - Military behavioral health A1 - Vazan, Peter A1 - Golub, Andrew A1 - Bennett, Alex S. SP - 108 EP - 115 VL - 3 IS - 2 N2 - Many veterans face various mental health challenges after separation. This study examines change over 14 months in mental health and related factors among 242 veterans returning to low-income predominantly minority sections of New York City. Mental health treatment provided more than reductions in symptoms of PTSD and depression; it also resulted in reductions in substance use disorders and daily stresses. However, many veterans not in treatment are experiencing combat-related concerns at subsyndromal levels. The findings highlight the need for low-threshold, community-based outreach programs for this population.
