A Supplemental Women’s Health Questionnaire for Women Veterans With Military Environmental Exposures: Project Development and Implementation

A Supplemental Women’s Health Questionnaire for Women Veterans With Military Environmental Exposures: Project Development and Implementation

As women transition from service members to veterans, their risk for health concerns that are female-specific or disproportionately impact women may increase, yet few studies have been conducted with women veterans, and even fewer have focused on their reproductive health [22].

Intervention for Justice-Involved Homeless Veterans With Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial

Intervention for Justice-Involved Homeless Veterans With Co-Occurring Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial

Veterans who are incarcerated are ineligible for Veterans Affairs (VA) services [10], rendering recidivism a critical issue to address, as it disrupts access to VA services that address substance use, mental illness, and other medical comorbidities, all of which are highly prevalent among veterans with criminal legal involvement, thus resulting in long-term health disparities [9,11-13].

Characterization and Evaluation of Department of Veterans Affairs Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities–Accredited Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Programs: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Program Evaluation

Characterization and Evaluation of Department of Veterans Affairs Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities–Accredited Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Programs: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Program Evaluation

In an effort to manage chronic pain, some veterans become reliant on prescription opioids [8,9], which have numerous unintended health consequences such as increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing, cardiovascular complication, and bowel dysfunction, as well as opioid misuse and overdose [10-13]. In recent years, there has been increased attention on low-risk interdisciplinary treatment options for chronic pain management in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) system [14].

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation to Maximize Hip Abductor Strength and Reduce Fall Risk in Older Veterans: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation to Maximize Hip Abductor Strength and Reduce Fall Risk in Older Veterans: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized control trial (trial registration: Clinical Trials.gov NCT04969094) will examine the impact of 12 weeks (3 times per week) of NMES + an MMBI versus an MMBI alone on fall risk, balance, mobility, and hip abductor composition and strength in 80 (40/group) older veterans at risk for falls.

Supporting Physical and Mental Health in Rural Veterans Living With Heart Failure: Protocol for a Nurse-Led Telephone Intervention Study

Supporting Physical and Mental Health in Rural Veterans Living With Heart Failure: Protocol for a Nurse-Led Telephone Intervention Study

However, rural veterans often lack access to support and problem-solving interventions in their communities. Furthermore, when such services are available, they typically are not tailored to the rural sociocultural and educational context, nor are they able to address the specific emotional needs of veterans [19]. Culturally sensitive, tailored interventions that provide support and focus on enhancing problem-solving skills [16] hold considerable promise for increasing uptake in rural veterans with HF.

Brief Video-Delivered Intervention to Reduce Anxiety and Improve Functioning in Older Veterans: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Video-Delivered Intervention to Reduce Anxiety and Improve Functioning in Older Veterans: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Anxiety disorders are pervasive among older adults and especially common in older military veterans. These disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and unspecified anxiety disorders [1]. A meta-analytic review estimated that nearly 1 in 10 (9.1%) older military veterans met the criteria for one of these anxiety disorders [2].

Opportunities to Address Specialty Care Deserts and the Digital Divide through the Veterans Health Administration’s Telehealth Hub-and-Spoke Cardiology Clinic: Retrospective Cohort Study

Opportunities to Address Specialty Care Deserts and the Digital Divide through the Veterans Health Administration’s Telehealth Hub-and-Spoke Cardiology Clinic: Retrospective Cohort Study

Access to specialty care varies widely across US geographic regions, a pattern that poses problems for the delivery of cardiology care within the Veterans Health Administration (VA) [1-3]. Given the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease and associated morbidity and mortality among veterans [4], maintaining access to cardiology care is essential.

Brief Peer-Supported Web-Based Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (BPS webSTAIR) for Trauma-Exposed Veterans in the Community: Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Peer-Supported Web-Based Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (BPS webSTAIR) for Trauma-Exposed Veterans in the Community: Randomized Controlled Trial

Among US veterans, the prevalence of comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder is estimated to be roughly twice the rate of PTSD alone [1], and the symptoms of each of these disorders have been associated with deficits in emotion regulation [2,3] and psychosocial functioning [4,5]. Meanwhile, veterans experience numerous practical and cultural barriers to accessing evidence-based mental health treatment.
