PARTICIPANTS: Data for the present cross-sectional study were obtained from the American College Health Association's (ACHA) 2011-2014 National College Health Assessment II (NCHA).

METHODS: Demographic characteristics of the study sample were explored by calculating frequencies and percentages by military service status. Research questions were explored with Fisher's exact test, maximum likelihood multiple logistic regression, as appropriate.

RESULTS: Women service member and veteran students received health information from their university/college less often than women students with no military experience on the following topics: alcohol and other drug use, depression and anxiety, sexual assault and relationship violence prevention, and stress reduction.

CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this research identified clear gaps in service provision for women student veterans on college campuses and provided some possible models for intervention development.
