Characteristics of veterans in Hawaii with and without diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder.
A total of 118 combat veterans seeking services at the VA Medical Center in Honolulu were assessed on a variety of demographic and psychometric dimensions, permitting the first systematic comparison on the measured variables between veterans with and without PTSD in the multicultural population of veterans in Hawaii. The results have implications for medical interventions with this population.
