Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how PTSD symptoms may worsen during the military-to-civilian transition and identifies risk and protective factors influencing PTSD onset for U.S. veterans.
- A large sample of nearly 49,000 veterans completed web surveys over three years, with findings showing high trauma exposure (59%) and a probable PTSD prevalence of 30%.
- Results indicate that factors like current stress, gender, and race/ethnicity are linked to PTSD risk, while psychological resilience and social support play protective roles, emphasizing the importance of ongoing support for veterans facing PTSD challenges.
Objectives: Off-label use of prazosin for posttraumatic stress disorder-related sleep disturbances (PTSD-SD) is widespread in Veterans Health Administration (VA) settings, but clinical trials have had mixed results. Trial criteria may exclude significant sub-groups, and therefore a 2018 study may not provide the final evidence of prazosin efficacy for PTSD-SD. This study analyzed correlates of prazosin use in Vietnam era (VNE) and Operations Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) cohorts to illustrate patterns of usage in this heterogeneous population.
