Article Synopsis
- Military sexual trauma (MST) is linked to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and warfare exposure, with a study showing that veterans with ACEs are more likely to experience unwanted sexual attention.
- Female veterans who experienced ACEs without warfare exposure faced increased risks, while a significant interaction between ACEs and warfare exposure heightened risks for both genders.
- The study emphasizes the need for screening and trauma-informed care practices to help address the effects of past traumas.
