This research study is being conducted to understand the impact trauma can have on U.S. military veterans' physical health, psychological health, learning and spirituality. If you would like to participate in the study, please note it is only for U.S. military veterans who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and/or Operation New Dawn (OND), AND who experienced combat stress/trauma, or military sexual trauma (MST) or both while serving in the operations. The online survey will take about 5-10 minutes to complete. The consent form will take about 5 minutes to read. My hope is that this study will help to improve treatment programs for military veterans dealing with the aftermath of trauma and all its complexities. Please click on the consent form link below to learn more about this study. The research study (online survey) link can be accessed below and at the bottom of the consent form as well. The survey is anonymous and DOES NOT ask for any personal identifiable information and DOES NOT record respondents' IP addresses, locations or contact info.
