Zusammenfassung:This study surveyed over 1000 female and male active duty soldiers to assess the impact of pre-military and military trauma on their physical and psychological well-being. The survey contained pertinent demographic information and a series of well-established scales in order to determine the history of trauma and physical and psychological symptoms, to include Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The analyses examined the relationships between trauma, social support/unit cohesion, health risks and a history of reported symptoms of PTSD and other psychological and physical problems. Recommendations are presented which may help to mitigate development of such problems.
