This study examines the following:The clinical care that the VHA provides for recent combat veterans; VHA's coordination with the DoD for the care of service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; the prevalence of PTSD and TBI among veterans of those conflicts and the occurrence of those conditions among recent combat veterans using VHA's services; and the costs to VHA of providing care to recent combat veterans for those conditions. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.
