Treatment Seeking for Posttraumatic Stress in Israel Defense Forces Veterans Deployed in the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War: A 7-Year Post-War Follow-Up.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on previous reports on postcombat PTSD prevalence using stratified samples, there appears to be a service-gap of anywhere between 3-11% between treatment seeking by IDF veterans following war deployment and the actual prevalence of PTSD and related symptoms in this soldier population. As in prior research, treatment seeking and PTSD strongly related to level of combat exposure. PMID: 30351274 [PubMed - in process]
