年轻的成年退伍军人有行为健康问题的风险，如抑郁症，创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和药物滥用。尽管如此，对退伍军人事务医疗保健系统（VA）内的退伍军人的研究表明，大约一半的康复治疗以任何形式接受，很少有人接受足够的护理。对于这项研究，行为健康筛查状态和行为健康的使用（包括VA设置以外的护理）之间的社区样本812年轻的成年退伍军人从互联网上招募的描述。尽管大约70%的样本筛查出行为健康问题呈阳性，但五分之一到五分之三的筛查阳性者在过去一年中报告了任何精神健康或药物使用治疗，三分之一或更少的人接受了最低限度的适当心理治疗或精神护理。调查结果扩大了以前的工作，并建议更多的努力是必要的，让年轻的退伍军人在行为健康服务。
Young adult veterans are at risk for behavioral health problems such as depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance misuse. Despite this, studies of veterans within the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System (VA) indicate that about half of those warranting treatment receive it in any form, with few receiving an adequate dose of care. For this study, the behavioral health screening status and behavioral health usage (including care outside of VA settings) among a community sample of 812 young adult veterans recruited from the Internet is described. Although approximately 70% of the sample screened positive for behavioral health problems, one-fifth to three-fifths of those screening positive reported any mental health or substance use treatment in the past year, with one-third or less receiving a dose of minimally adequate psychotherapy or psychotropic care. Findings expand on prior work and suggest more effort is necessary to engage young veterans in behavioral health services.
