Article Synopsis
- The National Guard played a crucial role in the U.S. response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and understanding their personal experiences can help address mental health issues among service members.
- A survey conducted with nearly 4,000 NG members revealed that 32% experienced personal connections to COVID-19, such as infection or loss of loved ones, which resulted in higher levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and probable PTSD.
- Specifically, those whose close relationships were affected by death due to COVID-19 reported significantly higher PTSS and were nearly three times as likely to exhibit PTSD compared to those without such experiences.
