Abstract People who experience trauma and develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at increased risk for poor health. One mechanism that could explain this is accelerated biological aging, which associated with the accumulation of chronic diseases, disability, premature mortality. Using data from 2309 post-9/11 United States military veterans participated in VISN 6 MIRECC’s Post-Deployment Mental Health Study, we tested whether PTSD exposure were rate assessed using a validated DNA...
The present study examined the structural validity of 25-item Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) in a large sample U.S. veterans with military service since September 11, 2001. Participants ( N = 1,981) completed CD-RISC, structured clinical interview and self-report questionnaire assessing psychiatric symptoms. was randomly divided into two subsamples: an initial (Sample 1: n 990) replication 2: 991). Findings derived from exploratory factor analysis (EFA) did not support...

Abstract Research generally supports a 4‐factor structure of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. However, few studies have established factor invariance by comparing multiple groups. This study examined PTSD symptom using the Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS) across three veteran samples: treatment‐seeking Vietnam‐era veterans, post‐Vietnam‐era and Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) research participants. Confirmatory analyses DTS items demonstrated that...
Abstract Objective To examine whether the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) apply to psychologists’ openness using telepsychology. Method Participants were 1,791 psychologists currently practicing psychotherapy. represented all 50 US states averaged 26.33 ( SD = 11.18) years in clinical practice. The study used a cross‐sectional, national online design. Results Path analyses derived from TRA TAM evidenced poor fit. A newly‐developed, third model achieved...
This study investigates prior reports of high neuropsychological symptom validity test (SVT) failure rates in post-deployed Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) active and veteran military personnel, using a large, multi-site sample (N = 214) drawn from three levels the Department Defense/Department Veterans Affairs (VA) Polytrauma System Care. The rate its relationship to research versus dual research/clinical context evaluation were examined, addition secondary...

Participants were 1,400 with an average 26.3 (SD = 11.18) years practice currently practicing within United States but All 50 states represented as well Washington, DC. The most commonly deterrents, from least frequent, insufficient training, client...
The ongoing controversy whether mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause chronic sequel is partly due to diagnostic limitations. Diagnosing TBI particularly challenging when assessment not immediate, and informed, first responder documentation or witness corroboration absent. In this common scenario, the diagnosis made entirely on self-report of an initial period alteration consciousness (AOC) associated with a plausible mechanism. Yet, there scant published empirical guidance methods for...
Sleep disturbances are well documented in relation to trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but correlates of such remain understudied veteran populations. We conducted a preliminary study sleep Operation Enduring Freedom, Iraqi New Dawn veterans (n = 133; mean [standard deviation] age 29.8 [4.7] y).
