Article Synopsis
- - Understanding military exposures is crucial for Veterans' health, as about 43% report concerns related to these exposures to VA providers, highlighting the need for better assessment methods.
- - The complex nature of military exposures demands a standardized approach to developing clinically meaningful metrics, which can help clinicians and researchers assess and communicate exposure risks effectively.
- - The Linked Exposures Across Databases (LEAD) framework offers a solution by integrating various military exposure data sources, facilitating a cohesive evaluation that could enhance how these exposures are managed in health care and research contexts.
Introduction: To evaluate the associations between neurocognitive and psychiatric health outcomes with mefloquine or any antimalarial exposure.
Materials And Methods: Medical records were systematically reviewed to identify veterans that indicated antimalarial medication use. Linear regression was performed to examine associations between mefloquine/antimalarial exposure and health outcomes.
Combat veterans often return from deployment having experienced a wide range of exposures, symptoms, and medical conditions.

We report the exposures, clinical status, and utilization of 53 combat veterans who participated in the National Referral Program (NRP) from January 2002 until March 2004.
