Description

Two combat-related conditions that affect some veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and that have generated widespread concern among policymakers are post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study examines: (1) The clinical care that the Veterans Health Admin. (VHA), the health care system within the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA), provides for recent combat veterans; (2) VHAäó»s coordination with DOD for the care of service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; (3) The prevalence of PTSD and TBI among veterans of those conflicts and the occurrence of those conditions among recent combat veterans using VHAäó»s services; and (4) The costs to VHA of providing care to recent combat veterans for those conditions. Appendices include background on PTSD and TBI; interpretation of published estimates of the prevalence of PTSD and TBI; and VHAäó»s average annual costs for OCO veterans who continue to seek care.
