Abstract
Sexual trauma during military service is increasingly recognized as a substantial
public health problem and is associated with detrimental effects on veteran mental
health. In this study, we examined associations between childhood trauma, military
sexual trauma (MST), combat exposure, and military-related posttraumatic stress symptomatology
(PTSS) in the Women Veterans Cohort Study (WVCS), a community-based sample of veterans
who served in the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
