Health care utilization and satisfaction concerning gender-specific health problems among military women.
There is growing concern regarding the quality of gender-specific health care for military women in general and for female veterans of the Persian Gulf War in particular. This paper reports on health care utilization rates for gender-specific problems and describes differences in these rates among age, rank, and component groups of a randomly selected sample of military women. Study findings provide preliminary evidence for a closer examination of health care services for women within the armed forces, particularly within specific cohorts, to better target both services and policy.
