Article Synopsis
- The study emphasizes the need for trauma-focused treatment for veterans experiencing military sexual trauma (MST) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), highlighting the low engagement in PTSD specialty care among Veterans Health Administration (VHA) patients.
- It analyzed data from over 84,000 veterans who screened positive for MST to examine differences in the likelihood of initiating and receiving adequate PTSD specialty care, revealing low initiation rates for both veterans with serious mental illness (SMI) and those without.
- The findings indicate that factors such as race and age affect access to PTSD care, but SMI status did not significantly impact care initiation; the study calls for further exploration of barriers to care for veterans with MST and PTSD.
